My Career as a Freelance Web Designer

A partial glimpse at my career as a freelance web designer.

For about two years, I was a freelance designer with my own invoice and all. I could get lost in the work for hours easily. I even custom coded CSS several times, and altered the PHP once (my proudest moment). I learned how to proactively ask questions about client’s needs and communicate with clients productively throughout the design process to ensure I was on target for meeting their needs.

Check out some of the websites I designed below.


A small business that provides books that use the decodable method for teaching children how to read

A non-profit dog rescue website
