2. What I Do?
CONSULTING
It’s essential for strategy and tactics. Without it, you’ll either make mistakes or rely on guesswork for your website. Let me guide you towards the right path in establishing your start-up or existing website.
CREATING WEBSITE
I’ve leveraged my experience in assisting enterprise-level companies to ensure that smaller businesses can enjoy the same advantages.
WEB AND GRAPHIC DESIGN
Once I have a clear goal in mind, I’ll sit down at my computer and start with wireframes and low-level mock-ups. Then add the imagery, typography design, and details.
