Personal Statement

I am an experienced, motivated & ambitious creative professional comfortable working across web, design & animation disciplines. I am comfortable taking a project from concept stages through to final execution. I thrive on challenge and push myself to create high quality work at every level in every medium I work in. I am primarily a drupal site builder and frontend developer and specialize in building robust, complex, attractive & responsive drupal sites. I have developed an expansive knowledge of the various modules, theming & develop-ment practices required for doing so. I have experience working with and manipulating drupal to do a wide range of things and have particular interest in using it to build web products and to power native mobile applications. I am relentless in my quest to turn clean, semantic, standards compliant markup into something beautiful, responsive, useable, accessable and functional. I also enjoy creating motion graphics and animation for broadcast and live events.
