I was responsible for working with both clients and the creative department to define the scope and information architecture of websites I would eventually develop myself. At times, I was also responsible for managing freelance programmers on projects.I kept myself informed of current best practices and made sure to apply the concept of "responsive design" on ALL projects, while other agencies stuck in the past would "upsell" this approach as an add-on. I specialized in creating custom Wordpress themes from scratch and implemented complex site designs.
