The articles relate to the topics that were discussed in class.

I am a web designer based out in Atlanta, Georgia, who just graduated from college. I started designing web sites in high school, but my skills really developed in college by working with many organizations both on campus and off. I specialize in designing themes for WordPress.

I was born in a city in Korea that was much like Atlanta—hot, humid, and known for a fruit. My family came to the States when I was 10. It’s a long story, but moving was a result of a bet my parents made against each other. Since then, I have been a Georgia peach. I attended the University of Georgia and graduated May 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism degree in Advertising and a New Media certificate. When I am not immersing myself in web design, I like to go out shopping, cook (anyone want an omelet?), and eat out at restaurants I never tried before. I also play Sims 3, and I have no shame about that.

I worked with several clients in college. I first started out with UGA Chapter of Habitat for Humanity. Then, I became involved with Hooper, Sanford, Baldwin, & Thomas (HSBT): a student-run advertising agency. Through HSBT, I worked with Window World of Athens and briefly with Strand Hair Studios. I also had a chance to work at BLVD, a magazine based in Athens, Georgia, as a web developer.

I am a fast learner and an efficient worker. I also happen to be looking for work. If you would like to work with me, please contact me or see my resume.

However, the website’s design had not been changed since early 2000s. As the webmaster for 2009 calendar year, I redesigned the website. The executive board requested that the site be in the Habitat colors of blue and green rather than UGA colors of red and black. PHP files were used instead of HTML files because there were certain features of the website such as CuteNews and Picasa Gallery that required a web page in PHP.

During this time, I also created a twitter account to utilize more social media.

* The website does not use this design anymore.
