Call me to talk about

Web Animation and Interaction in a Flashless Era

I travel the world giving talks at front end development conferences and at universities, showing people which technologies to use to improve their user experiences with animation and tell better stories without Flash. I've written on the topic for sites like A List Apart and UX Booth.

Digital and Interactive Storytelling

The browser is more than just a document reader. Adding interactive narrative elements to your site or app's design can delight users and give them a memorable experience. I have experience in bringing stories to life with HTML5 instead of Flash and speak about the things I've built around the world. I can help you brainstorm a better landing page or onboarding experience, or help you pick the best library for your next HTML5 game.

Rachel has a keen understanding of what it takes to engage a teenage audience, and she built a large following during her time at gURL.com. She is intelligent, motivated, and highly creative. Rachel is also FULLY aware of the marketing capabilities of the web, and knows how to perfectly execute a guerilla-style web campaign using free social networking tools.

Rachel is a highly creative and very skilled self-starter. This does not prevent her from asking questions when warranted. She is adept in web design and development, with the ability to code solid (X)HTML mark-up and CSS, and the ability to work with web-environment programming (such as CMS installations, among other things).

It should also be noted that Rachel is an extremely talented illustrator and independent graphic novel writer/artist. She self-publishes, has been featured and carried by major web media outlets, maintains her own web presence, and is active in her artistic community.

Rachel is extremely polite, professional, inquisitive and a fast learner. Her unique personal and artistic vision are balanced with a practical perspective for getting work done on time and on budget. She would be a great asset for any firm seeking artistic flair with the well-grounded skill set to back it up.

Rachel is one of the finest front-end developers in the Triangle. She's able to implement thoughtful, pragmatic, longterm solutions. She also has an incredible dedication to professional development -- just check out all her tweets about sketching or learning Javascript at 1am. She is a generous contributor to the community, from attending meetups and speaking at conferences to helping organize them! We will miss her tight code and keen eye for design.

Rachel is a talented artist whose canvas includes ( but is not limited to ) paper, HTML and CSS. She saves the day with semantic markup and well organized code. User experience is Rachel's focus. She never fails to deliver a solid, user-centered product. I have enjoyed working with Rachel thus far and look forward to future endeavors.
