Welcome to Double Five Designs
I am an experienced Interface Designer aspiring to develop state-of-the-art responsive websites, professional graphic imagery and enriched social media campaigns offering expertise in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Microsoft Office, Drupal and HTML5.
My Experience:
A core strength is my ability to autonomously perform any portion or the entire website production lifecycle. From concept, creation or re-imagining to implementation of user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) as well as management to maintain a current “look and feel,” I am able to respond to immediate needs of the organization. This has proven invaluable to many clients throughout my career.
