About Me
Snapshot
I am currently living in Washington, DC. I am web content specialist at Science Magazine, based in the heart of downtown DC.
Since 1996 I have worked in the web industry, primarily as a designer and consultant. I am a skilled interactive designer, specialising in web design, user-interface design, web production, (HTML/XHTML, CSS, Javascript) multimedia design & development (primarily in Flash) and usability/accessibility. I do not regard myself as a hard-core programmer, but I have a practical understanding of enterprise-level application development and a working knowledge of many popular languages including Java, ASP.NET, PHP and Cold Fusion.
My work and personal interests regularly involve me dipping into producing podcasts, video filming and editing, creating CD-ROMs or interactive Flash applications. One of the reasons I love this industry is that there is always something new to learn or a new way to do an old job. A more efficient approach to consider - or a new gadget to try out!
In my spare time I enjoy watching movies, photography, film-making, cycling, music and tinkering with technology in general. I have been involved with the local public access TV station for a few years now and have helped on a number of shows.
I have a pet cat called Hedley - who still hates me for dressing him up as Frankenstein last halloween!
