My name is Raymond Krause. I'm a fulltime web producer and freelance illustrator working in Milwaukee, WI.

With over eleven years of experience in web design and development, I have navigated the evolving landscape of the internet, from the early days of table-based layouts to modern responsive standards. The large majority of my expertise comes from hands-on work and a DIY attitude fueled by caffeine, deadlines, and sheer curiosity.

My professional focus is on bridging the gap between creative design and technical implementation, ensuring that digital products not only look great but are built efficiently, accessibly, and with semantic integrity.

Core Competencies

My technical toolkit allows me to handle various stages of web production:

• Frontend Development: Expert in hand-coded CSS, semantic XHTML, and unobtrusive JavaScript.
• Workflow: Proficient with preprocessors (SASS/LESS), version control (Git), and task runners (Gulp/Grunt).
• CMS & Platforms: Experienced in theme development for WordPress and integration with various CMS platforms.

Tools of the Trade

While I believe the tool doesn't make the artist, these are the applications I use daily to bring projects to life:

• VS Code (for coding)
• Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects)
• Sketch / Figma
• 有时候也用 Flash (Hah, just kidding. Mostly.)
