Joel Unger
Who am I?
I currently have 8 years of professional experience in web design and development, with a specific expertise in web application development, user experience and identity design.
My work ranges from corporate identity creation and redesign, to video editing and distributing, to building and administrating servers. I am an accomplished master of the Adobe Creative Suite among many other tools of the trade. My fluency with languages such as PHP, .NET and Java enables me to understand and work with developers to fit within a cohesive whole. I have served as a team leader on various projects and also work well within an Agile/Scrum environment.
I employ my knowledge of usability and best practices in every application I design to make sure they are universally accessible in every browser. All the while, this rigor is tempered with a creative approach to web design that meets the client’s needs with a fresh approach.
