Welcome!

WEBPool is the portfolio site of a multimedia and website design bachelor’s graduate of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh specializing in the use of cutting edge technology and implementing customized style, design and layout. I utilize the interactivity of flash animation and focus on the designing the most effective layout and graphics. The objective is to enhance and communicate the message and tone suitable for the targeted audience of my clients or employer.

My goal is to deliver top quality computer based training program and website solutions. I research, design, deploy and manage projects of the highest quality for forward-thinking individuals that demand a return on their investment solutions. With my skills as an Interactive Multimedia and Web Designer, I can measurably increase sales, reduce costs, create new clientele opportunities, improve communication and enable a higher level of collaboration between you, employees, and your customers.

About

I started my journey in this field at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh in 2000. It was hard, at first, getting used to that learning environment. But in the end, I graduated on the Dean's list in 2004.

From this experience, I learned how to organize and document projects from start to finish, design with the big picture in mind and deploy by deadline.

I have a desire and passion to create top-notch innovative designs, but a sincere respect for the programming standards. I place a high emphasis on quality workmanship, timeliness, follow-thru and communication. I value the opportunity to work with people who are highly educated and well seasoned in my field.

For the past three years, I have been employed as an Interactive Multi-media Developer by the wonderful Pittsburgh-based non-profit organization named ONS (Oncology Nursing Society). ONS has challenged me time and time again and I continually answer their call. With a friendly staff environment of some of the best in the business my skills have grown by leaps and bounds. Every day I exercise newly learned skills and concepts while sharpening old ones. Simply by the teamwork alone, I am continually inspired to take on bigger and greater challenges. Thus leaving me now ready to take the next step and continue my education with a Masters Degree.
