I am in the final months of earning my Bachlor of Arts degree in Web Design from the Art Institute of Phoenix. I have over 15 years of experience working with code. I was self started in my pursuit of coding knowledge while still in grade school. My passion for this area of work has only grown since.
I was an animal lover early on. My mother bred cocker spanials for the early years of my life. I cannot remember a time in my life that my mom did not have a dog. The love of my life was not dogs though. I fell in love with horses at an early age and thanks to my wonderful mother I started to take riding lessons at age 5.
I was also the most artistic person on my family. My passion for drawing and creating started early. My mother always supported the artistic side of me and encouraged it to grow. Her support has helped me push myself to become the designer I am today and allowed me to appreciate art as I do now.
My Family was always full of Entrepreneurs. I grew up with the values and ethics of a small business instilled in me at an early age. I am lucky to have the unique advantage of knowing both sides of the coin. I understand the needs of a small business needs unique individual attention that some major advertising or web firms are unable to give.

I haven’t had much time to take pictures with classes. I just recently finished processing these and figured i might as well share them. The dog is my purebred Rottwieler. His name is Fenrir Wulfe, I purchased him from a local breeder here in Arizona and i believe at the time of this photo he was about 1 year 2 months. The cat in these pictures is a humane society rescue, she has a brother whom we also adopted. The cats are roughly 2 years old. This little girl’s name is Calypso. She loves to meow and her and I can hold lengthy conversations in meows. She normally answers to Caly. Feel free to click on the images to enlarge them.
