Can I help you?

 

I love getting unsolicited emails asking me if I am available for freelance work...but unfortunately I have to turn many of these down. Besides being employed full-time by Cyberwoven, I am a first-time homeowner with a lot of "Free-Time" and "Weekend Warrior" projects to tackle. Although I do occasionally accept new small freelance projects, I really don't have time outside my normal working hours to knock out larger projects efficiently. If you need just about any size web or print project done, please consider working with me through my full-time employer. Not only will the project get done more efficiently; as I can work on it during normal business hours, but it will have the added value of being critically evaluated by my co-workers as well.
