Raise your hand if you've always loved to doodle

That was certainly me, everyday in class. And it is certainly me now, at work and in meetings. I just can't stop making everything into a sketch. Taking notes was actually fun and the concepts made visual really aided my learning throughout school.

Now, with a web now officially considered at 3.0, all of us can make nearly every concept visual!

But it takes lots of background work to make content online useful, accessible, accurate, and of course find-able. I work in the field of marketing & communication because I believe efficient communication is integral. My joy is seeing ideas, hard work and research shared online as clearly and as closely to the intent as possible.

In this age of digital communication building these platforms to be as dependable as possible should be every User's responsibiity. Just as typewriting was considered an essential skill by the 80's, we should have a similar goal to make HTML as universal and accessible as possible.

I like to use my affinity for mediation as my backing to develop efficient websites and train users in maintaining them, while gaining the ability and confidence to put their content out there, whether it's for functional, presentational, professional, or even casual applications. Let's make the web personal again!
