Dancing on the line between functional and beautiful, I aim to develop and design websites that convey professionalism and style. Three years of professional freelance Web Design/Development, 12 hour days, tight deadlines, countless cups of coffee and numerous phone calls with clients have shaped me into the designer I am today. I aim for beauty, professionalism, and business impact. I strive to always work on challenging, meaningful and impactful problems that ultimately will hone my skills to better myself in whatever it is I do. I enjoy taking the time; Web Design is something that I am passionate in. It is that passion that allows me to strive to try to always put out my best work.

DKPV - Photography Portfolio

Web Designer
|

Aug 2013 - Sep 2013

Doug Keenan is a photographer originally from Monroe, New Jersey. I was tasked to create a portfolio as well as logo for him that was minimal, but still looked great. For him, the most important thing was the photos - and he

didn’t want a website filled with too many animations, bells, and whistles that would eventually detract from the true reason he had created his website in the first place - as a photography showcase.

UTRADE - A Student Marketplace

Web Developer/Designer

Dec 2014 - Current

UTRADE is a student marketplace, a safe way for students to buy/sell anything for college as opposed to other outlets such as CraigsList. It allows students to sell their books, furniture upon moving out/in of apartments/dorms, and other general items. I'm tasked at developing as well as designing the website. Being that I am a college student myself, I find it enjoyable to craft a website that is catered toward my demographic. The design as well as the functionality is being geared toward the 18-24 year old college student demographic, and the website should perform optimally for that purpose.
