About
My name is Emily Winand and I am a web designer from Pennsylvania. I have an Assioiates Degree in Web Design and have been working in the field for over two years. I have worked with multiple clients while doing freelance work (which I continue to do), and have accepted a full time position for a company managing their many websites. I am always looking to expand my career in the Web Design/Development industry and am always willing to take on new challenges.
It is my nature to create order from chaos and structure from disarray. Nothing gives me more satisfaction than using a blank canvas to scramble ideas and concepts, analyzing their shape, color, and content before beginning to assemble them to solve a design problem. Being a web designer provides me the tension between freedom & restriction of ideas that I find appealing.
