Hello, I'm a graphic artist/web designer out of Detroit, Michigan. I'm a big advocate of Adobe Fireworks, a vector web design program I write about in my blog.

                            $('#s1').cycle({ fx: 'scrollHorz', prev: '#prevy', next: '#nexty', speed: 1100, timeout: 5000 });
                        
                    

For about ten years now I've been designing websites, identities, logos, brochures and about everything else you can put on screen or paper.

Front End Web Design

When I first started down the path of front end web design I discovered the vector graphics program Adobe Fireworks (formerly Macromedia Fireworks), and have since become a huge fan of it's functionality and workflow. By combining the vector characteristics of Adobe Illustrator, the photo/image editing tools from Photoshop, easy to use export tools and more Fireworks makes the perfect design tool for the web.

Before long I found myself becoming an evangelist for the program. Since I like writing, web design and Fireworks it made a lot of sense to publish a blog on the subject.

Much to my suprise, people started reading it! I try to publish weekly as my schedule allows and I aim my content at folks that are new to the software and the veterans alike.

Branching Out

I'm also going to be branching out into related software (Dreamweaver & Flash), so stay
tuned for that.
