In a nutshell I love to design, develop and build things. I have formal training in the arts from UW-Madison and excellent experience in design, front-end coding and building things like businesses and apps. (And yes, I actually have dreamt code.)

Design
My design artistry combine » UI design, illustration, branding, graphic design, typography and print.
Development
Coding mastery includes front-end coding » HTML, CSS and jQuery and I do responsive design, working with the new framework library Foundation 4 by Zurb, to accommodate smart devices as the Android, iPhone or iPad.
Building Things
When I'm not building apps for smart devices, I'm also building business-friendly environments that a client previously didn't have » visual awesomeness, smart device ready, socially connected, data-savvy and traffic-optimized. Social media I focus most on includes Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Pinterest. I rely on data analytic tools as Google Analytics, Facebook Insights and Topsy, and I apply Panda-friendly SEO to improve Google search rankings.
Optimal Health Network
[ Madison, WI ]
Madison, Wisconsin health guru Kristina Amelong does big business online. Kristina's site enemabag.com had traditionally been ranked #1 on page #1 in Google for the search query 'enema', so when her site suffered a dramatic Google ranking drop after Google released it's newest search algorithm Panda in February 2011, I was brought in to improve her ranking through analytics, SEO, social media and design.
After a year of careful work, Kristina's Google rankings went from completely off the map, to a gradual ascent to where it is today, back to page one on Google, search query 'enema'.
