About

After graduating from MNTC, I began working freelance and designing logos and/or websites for a handful of clients. After a short time, I decided to start a small part-time web design company with a friend and fellow classmate. My goal is to simply do what I love and make a career in the always progressing web development industry in the process. online portfolio is available at darreck-kirby-portfolio.com Specialties: I work mostly with the design end of website development. I use mostly HTML and CSS to design and build websites, but have some working knowledge of JavaScript and ActionScript 2. I also enjoy working on logos and other aspects of graphic design.
