Hello! I'm ----------- -----------, freelance website designer from the Philippines, at your service!
I've been delivering professional WordPress design and development to clients around the world since 2007.
For days, I read about Flash, Fireworks and Dreamweaver (owned by the Macromedia company then) from various online tutorials. A few weeks of self-study resulted to one ugly (by my current standards) website but that did start everything.
Three years after my initial jump in web design, I accumulated enough html skills to land me a job in Manila with an American expat who ran a web design business from a home office. Within two years, the company was absorbed by a multinational market research firm.
In 2010 I decided to go freelance and have since helped many local and foreign businesses to bring their presence online.
The internet has changed dramatically since I typed my first lines of code in Netscape Composer. I am often amazed at the speed that new technologies ----------- wonder young kids now have to go to school to learn a trade that took me only a few weeks to study more than 10 years ago. I do my best to keep up (still by reading online tutorials) because my love for creating websites is the one thing that has not changed. I am happy that after a few career dead-ends, I eventually discovered a profession that I truly enjoy doing.
