ABOUT ME:
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.

requires the use of a program I don't already know, I should be able
to pick it up quickly.

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.
