Web Project Portfolio

Over the last several years I've worked on some 30-40 web-projects from cutting-edge web based applications to helping traditional businesses sell and market themselves online.

Former clients range from governments and large corporations, to hi-tech startups, small businesses and individuals. Usually my role has been that of the UI/design lead, or product manager.
