Introduction
Hello! My name is Amy and I’m a web designer living in Toronto, Ontario. I received a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science at St. Lawrence University in Canton, NY. I have six years of experience working in front-end web design. I am skilled in HTML, CSS, JavaScript and have a great understanding of ecommerce practices and SEO.
I'm looking for a fun and inspiring work environment. I like working with concept and design in addition to coding. I feel I have a great deal to offer in a team environment because I am personable and reliable, have strong written and verbal communication skills, and commit myself to every aspect of the job. I like to be challenged, and I have a high capacity to multitask and learn new skills quickly. I'm seeking a position that inspires me so that I feel passionate about the job and engage it to my full potential. I believe that only when this exchange takes place, can both employer and employee truly prosper. So, take a look at some of the examples of web, graphic and print design work I’ve done. I hope you'll find me a good fit for your team. Please don't hesitate to contact me for references or additional examples of my work, or for answers to any questions you might have. Thank you for visiting!
