Founder
As an American artist myself, I founded YourProFolio.com to help make artists successful. With over 40,000 artists across the globe, ProFolio offers beautifully designed websites for beautiful artwork in an easy-to-manage way so that creatives can spend less time managing their careers and more time pursuing their passion.
As the solo founder of ProFolio, I've had a wide range of real world experience. On one side, I've learned much in terms of front-end and back-end website design and development to create responsive websites and CMS systems for thousands of users. On the business side, I've gained startup experience building business plans for investors, marketing techniques and sales tactics to sell to thousands of customers, and the importance of customer support and relations. With a solid foundation in place, the next steps of ProFolio aim to expand the artist's career toolbox and broaden their artistic opportunities, both online and off.

Freelancer
Gaining experience in full-stack design and development, I completed several small and medium projects including e-commerce, online communities, and custom web applications. Managing several multi-month long projects simultaneously, I communicated with various commercial, personal and non-profit clients. Focusing on both the whole and the details, I focused on delivering high-quality, search engine optimized work.
