ABOUT ME:

Jesse

CAPTION: None.

Hello. My name is Jesse L. Holk. I’m an illustrator and graphic/web designer based in the Portland Metro area, currently working for an advertising agency out of Eugene. Most of my experience falls in the area of print design but I’m well versed in multiple web technologies and the use of cross-browser/cross- platform website development methods. As a web designer I specialize in building intuitive, eye-catching UI's, and hand code all my sites using standards compliant XHTML/CSS. For a better idea of my skills and qualifications, see the profile information below and be sure to check out my portfolio.

If you are interested in working with me on a freelance basis, please contact me with the specifics of your job and I’ll get back to you with a quote.

I have a basic knowledge of those last three languages to the extent that I’m usually able to manipulate pre-existing code for my purposes. I’m currently working on improving these skill sets, so hopefully I’ll feel confident enough to add a few more checks soon.
