I have been working in IT as a web/application developer for over 6 years now, mostly in Higher Education.
My focus has mostly been in design, both graphical and interfaces. Building websites for my family and friends has become a hobby. It's come to the point that I get asked, "Do you freelance? I have a friend that could use a new website." I pick up some jobs here and there when they are small because I want to have a life outside of my real job.
Freelancing does help stay creative outside of my day job.
Things I like to do:
- Build Websites
- Build Templates for various CMSs
- Create logos and an identity businesses
- Editing pictures (trying to work on my Photoshop skills)
My newest interest is wedding invitations. I also like helping people with their resumes. I am always amazed at how poorly people represent themselves on a document that has such a impact on how the future of their career can go.
Outside of the IT realm, I enjoy:
- Learning to cook new things
- Traveling
- Meeting new people
- Spending time with family
