have an upcoming project for me? Let's chat.

Name's Jamie. Nice to meet you.
The whole "lovezapp" moniker is a long story. I'll tell you about it over beers.

Web Design and Development

I've been working as a professional contract web designer and web developer since 2004. Since then I've built web sites using ColdFusion, ASP, Flash, and PHP. I've also helped engineer web applications using Flash and ActionScript 2.0. Yet it's in the following areas that I've really honed my skills:

  • (X)HTML
  • CSS
  • PHP
  • jQuery
  • Search Engine Optimization
  • Web Standards and Accessibility
  • User Experience

Writing, Both Creative and Technical

Up until (and including) 2004, I was a professional writer with an honor's degree in English. My roles included writing technical material as an Instructional Designer, as well working on more creative projects as a Simulation Writer and Director. I currently write articles covering web technology and techniques for Web Designer Depot and maintain a blog about music.

And When I'm Not Hunched Over My Laptop?

On a more personal level, I'm an active runner having completed three marathons and dozens of middle distance races. Running, my uncle once told me, is like hitting yourself with a hammer: it feels good when you stop. But when the weather turns cold, I kick off my running shoes and strap into a snowboard. And while I've resigned myself to the fact that I'll never make it to the half-pipe, I plan on sticking 360s by 2010.
