Since December 2016 I’ve been working as a freelancer for this great marketing company out of Lexington, KY. They give me blog posts in Word format & featured images, then I make sure they’re published & SEO-ed properly for roughly 200 of their clients’ websites. I’ve learned a lot of great SEO stuff from them & this job has kept me on my toes, making me more detail-oriented because they are strictly against even minor errors. All site work involves many CMSes, HTML, CSS, some JS, Photoshop. Creekmore Marketing website

Samples of their client’s sites:  Viking Blinds | Blinds & Us | Murray Floors & Window Company

In this period of time I was hired on by the president of Portland’s #1 rated house cleaning company to help solidify their #1 search engine ranking and to make their site perform as well as possible in all aspects.

I was offered a gig  to develop two flash-like interactive tours to educate site visitors about this facility’s operations, with landing pages. Coding & software involved: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, Adobe Edge Animate, Photoshop, Illustrator.

EDIT 10/15/2023: Recently realized the following sample links no longer work, possibly because the combination of code has fallen out of date, or anything from Adobe Edge (which is now nonexistent) won’t work in browsers anymore. Looking to resolve this because this was quite a project & has been my best interactive animation project since my Flash days. Link 1 | Link 2

I may detail this history a bit more later but most of it isn’t relevant to the work I’m doing now and where I’d like to go in the future. Some notable history is this though:

• My first full-time web design/development job was for a company called Rotovac in the Seattle area, 2012 – 2013. A mid-sized, international company that makes carpet & tile cleaning gear. I learned a lot & had many responsibilities. I was the lead webmaster in charge of all aspects of roughly 600 clients’ websites including the servers they were on, lead graphic designer, customer support, product photography, the editing & printing of manuals and more. This is when I got my first experience in WordPress
• From 2007 – 2011 my main specialty was Flash. Building, updating, fixing, re-doing & maintaining Flash sites.
• I’ve teamed up with many tiny web design/development/marketing companies before, since 2007
• Many years working as a bread baker & pastry baker
