I am excited for further opportunities to expand and improve as a web designer and developer.
I graduated summa cum laude with a BFA in Graphic Design and Art history in 2013. I began my career as a graphic designer with an emphasis on customer support in 2013 for FreshySites Web Design, a full service web design shop located in Binghamton, NY. FreshySites, which has recently been named the #1 Web-Design company in Central New York for the second year according to the Central New York Business Journal, focuses on providing beautiful and modern websites with an emphasis on customer interaction, satisfaction, and support.
As Support & Project Work Manager at FreshySites, I have gained experience in project management, quick problem solving, and customer support. I manage all side/special-case projects and high-level support, including troubleshooting web-issues and using/creating custom HTML/CSS and PHP files. I thrive on the daily opportunities to interact directly with clients, providing them with the best customer experience, and strive to find unique solutions to web-related problems. As FreshySites continues to grow, I am excited for further opportunities to expand and improve as a web designer and developer.
