Tim Merrill’s Summary

I started my career as a web designer for LendingTree.com in 1997. I went on to work for two agencies, marchFirst and InternetSoccer.com, designing for brands such as Laura Ashley, Lotus/IBM and Women's United Soccer Association. For five years after I was the Creative Director for a financial services software company, where I focused on usability and IA. I now run Wonderwheel Creative, a web, print and identity design agency specializing in standards-based, user-centered websites and content management using Drupal.
