“Zee”
Born and bred in the San Francisco Bay Area, I'm a visual designer and web developer who loves grids, typography, clean code, and above all, attacking problems.
I'm fluent in a number of web languages, chiefly, HTML, CSS, PHP and JavaScript, and dabble in a few others. I also have a firm command of the Adobe Creative Suite. I've done work for companies such as Cisco, Zazzle, eMines and Computer Information Enterprises.
In my spare time I also help run Talent Loves Us, an organization dedicated to helping current and up and coming creative professionals explore their career opportunities.
