About My Work

2009 Web Standards "Blue Beanie Day"

I have been designing and developing web sites since 1997 and am available for work through my company, Souldanse. I am based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, but have also successfully worked for national and international clients.

What I Do

I make web sites… better. Whether working from the ground up with a new web site concept to re-working an existing site design, I provide my expertise in web-standards and my experience in working through the usability process to design an optimal experience for your users.

Real-world experience backed with certified know-how. Certified in Web Standards-Based Design, I do front-end development for your site using the latest in HTML and CSS technologies. Custom solutions for your needs can be done as Lo-Fi (wireframes) or Hi-Fi (Photoshop Layouts or Hybrid HTML Prototypes) as you need them to be.

Social when and where it counts. With my real-world experience using the latest in social media applications, I can help you utilize these to the benefit of your web site. It’s not about re-creating the wheel, it’s about finding the right tire that will deliver you to your destination.

User Advocate. I advocate for the best user experience that your web site could provide to your target audience. I focus my talents where the experiences matter to find the best blend that translates into a great experience for your business and your targeted audience.

I’ve worked in a variety of environments from corporate to marketing agencies and a description of my work can be found on my LinkedIn profile.

I’d be happy to talk to you about your ideas.

“The experienced web designer, like the talented newspaper art director, accepts that many projects she works on will have headers and columns and footers. Her job is not to whine about emerging commonalities but to use them to create pages that are distinctive, natural, brand-appropriate, subtly memorable, and quietly but unmistakably engaging.

If she achieves all that and sweats the details, her work will be beautiful. If not everyone appreciates this beauty—if not everyone understands web design—then let us not cry for web design, but for those who cannot see.” ~ Jeffrey Zeldman
