I have been toying with the Web for a decade now, and taking it seriously for about seven years. I am "content first, design second"; my style is simple and clean.
I love hand-coding in (X)HTML and CSS, and I'm a best practices groupie. (“Whoo! Show us your DOCTYPE!”) I attend professional, forward-thinking (and fun) conferences like SXSW and A List Apart, and always have a stack of new design and development and engaging business books to read. I’ve been relearning Flash, and also delving into DOM Scripting/JavaScript. I’ve just dipped a toe into PHP/MySQL, and will be exploring XML/XSLT soon.
Along with designing, I love to dance. I’ve been an Irish dancer since 1999 and am very excited to begin Highland dancing this coming January. I’ve also danced Egyptian-style and American Tribal-style belly dance, and had some experience with ballet, jazz and tap.
Thanks to years of Girl Scout indoctrination, I like to leave things better than I found them.
