Who are you again?
I'm Mark, nice to meet you.
And what is that you do exactly?
Well, I have a Bachelor of Science degree (a BS degree if you will - ha!) in Interactive Media Design.
That is just a fancy way of saying I went to school for web design.
Great, but I'm still not sure what you do?
To be specific, I consider myself a Web+Graphic Designer and an HTML+CSS developer.
So what can you do for me then?
Well, the short answer is: anything you need. If you need graphic print work I can do that. I can conceptualize and design your website. I can build out the HTML+CSS framework from said conceptualized design. I can also add some JavaScript and JQuery to your site if necessary.
So you hand code HTML+CSS+JavaScript?
Well, yes and no. I can hand code HTML+CSS with the best of them. My JavaScript skills are intermediate and when I need to use it for more advanced applications I go to Google and figure out how to do it. No shame there.
Can you show me a bit of JavaScript?
So you're a designer and a front end developer?
Am I confusing you, or are you confusing me?
Well, which is it?
If you're really going to make me pick, I'd have to say I am a hybrid…wait didn't I answer that question a few questions up?
Yes, you did - sorry. What other skills do you have? What programs do you use?
Well, I can take pictures and I'm a damn fine cook. For my job though, I use Photoshop, Illustrator for design purposes and OmniGirafe for wire frames and a bit of Fireworks if I'm feeling bold. To write code I'll either use Dreamweaver (code view) or TextMate. I have skills to spare when it comes to cross browser checking and I can do 22 chin ups. I also am comfortable in a PHP/LAMP environment and have a solid understanding for sales and marketing as well as music.
Is that so?
Well, I didn't go to Harvard School of Business or anything, but I've been working on websites on the sales and marketing side of things for 5 years now. My knowledge of music comes from my time at Myspace, not to mention I used to run a small music venue in the 90's!
You sound like a stand up kind of guy, maybe we should schedule some time to speak?
I think that would probably be in both of our best interests. You can reach me at design@markcasas.com

You seem cool, but you're [insert easy let down here].

HTML+CSS+DESIGN

JAVASCRIPT+JQUERY+OTHER STUFF

Hi, I'm Mark. I am a HTML+CSS developer and graphic+web designer.

Before we move forward I am going to give you a choice. You can either read on to learn about some of the things I've worked on, or you can click the cute 'lil FAQ link in the top right corner to find out more about me and what I have to offer. You decide. Both choices are acceptable.

Ok, fine choice. Let's proceed:

I spent a year with The Famous Group and worked on the Michelin Man website for Michelin automotive tires. I played an integral part in the development of this site, as I was responsible for the html+css development of over thirty unique pages. I was also responsible for the website development of a brand new stress product called C3* for Stress. I built the front end of this site as well as their blog using Wordpress.

Formerly I worked at Myspace, where I met a lot of cool people. While there I built brand profiles for clients such as Coke, Microsoft, Lions Gate, Warner Bros., Wendy's and Original programing.
