Jim. James. Even Jimmy. Thanks to family, friends and colleagues I’ve gotten used to all three.

I was born and raised in the south suburbs of Chicago IL and I currently reside near Peoria IL, almost three hours south of the Windy City. I also lived in Madison WI for a couple of years before moving here.

I’m a freelance website designer / website developer and graphic designer. I also market and promote websites as well. I enjoy what I do and love the fact that it’s what I do for a living. I get around on this information highway also known as the internet and decided to set up a website to serve as an anchor point to the places online where I can be found.

This includes social networking sites (MySpace, Facebook, etc.) and some of my personal and business projects as well. I’ll also be posting some of the graphic design stuff I do for fun in my spare time, pics and possibly some video.  If you would like to get a better idea of what I do check out Kooi Designs and Feed The Dragon. The former of the two is my professional website and the latter is a personal project that I use to share what I know about website design and development to help others when I can and have the time.
