MORE EXAMPLES COMING SOON….
Because of my path in corporate America, working for other organizations, my portfolio as an independent designer is limited. Stay tuned for more examples of my individual work soon, including my own efforts for building a hypnotherapy presence online.
Ask me about referrals and discounts for hypnotherapists, energy workers, and holistic practitioners….
ABOUT ME
I have had a long and varied career in IT. My journey with a number of organizations has informed a concurrent journey in freelance graphic and web design, utilizing many technologies and platforms. From designing sites from scratch using html and CSS, to leveraging platforms like Sharepoint, Adobe CC, WordPress, my focus has always been on end user experience and simplicity, the idea that ‘content is king’. I have also spent a number of years as a Quality Assurance Engineer/ Software tester, and pride myself on creating products that are tested and refined.
A few things that inform my work while designing for practitioners:
- My own path with hypnotherapy, a background in psychology, and authentic relating facilitation. I value finding a look and feel that reflects the energy of a person, and their practice. I focus on the more creative side for connection.
- My creative and artistic side. I enjoy digital design, acrylic painting, writing, poetry, composition and compositing, photography. These pursuits inform my decisions when trying to make simple sites look good
Testimonials
What clients and coworkers have to say about my technical and design experience. With an IT background spanning 17 years, I have filled a wide range of roles, in design, graphic design, technical support, and Quality Assurance Engineering.
"I needed help with whipping up a layout and design for something I had to get in quickly. Tim was able to get me what I needed with amazing turnaround time! I love your work Tim, thank you."
Stephanie Gray
"Tim is very knowledgeable about QA standards and best practices, which makes him a great resource for his colleagues. One of Tim's most outstanding qualities is his ability to ask all the right questions to help in identifying potential pitfalls and vulnerabilities, which greatly contributes to the overall quality of a project. I am confident that Tim will make a significant positive impact on any project or team he joins."
Brenda M
"I've had the pleasure to work with Tim recently, and although it wasn't for a long period of time, I can say he is a fast learner. He cares about learning every nuance of the platform so he can qa properly and, more importantly, he asks the RIGHT questions. I would recommend Tim to anyone looking for someone to help make sure their product is up to the gold standard!"
Nicole B
"Tim is incredibly thorough and reads requirements and acceptance criteria very closely, and he goes out of his way to collaborate with developers, designers, and product managers to ensure the highest quality in the features that were shipped without wasting time on out-of-scope items to meet timelines. What struck me most, however, was his gentle attitude within his collaborative style. I never felt like Tim was being forceful or wasting time on things that didn't matter..."
Derek G
"Tim is an intelligent, polished and meticulous individual who's consistent drive was appreciated by everyone from IT down to the many end users he supported here at Bernstein-Rein. That is why I am giving Tim my recommendation with any reservations."
Jason E
"Tim is great at what he does. As an IT professional, he provided support for Bernstein-Rein's creative department. At times, this included as many as 100+ creative professionals... This makes him aptly suited for high-stress work environments. Most importantly, Tim is very timely in his work -- he's very quick to help and respond. All in all, he goes about his day with patience in all situations."
Sean B
"Tim is a very hard working and knowledgeable employee that our department and company could count on every day. He is very detail oriented and great at keeping record of what he's working on.
I highly recommend Tim and would love the opportunity to work with him again."
