I hand code in HTML, XHTML and CSS and edit PHP on a very basic level when I need to. I have experience customizing and setting up WordPress, Blogger, Joomla and phpBB based websites. These days WordPress is my preferred Website platform.

I use Photoshop to design website layouts and graphics. Illustrator is my tool of choice for Logo’s and other Print media because of it’s superior vector capabilities.

I continue to develop and expand on my knowledge when and how i can.

The Artist

Art has been a life long hobby and continues to be a daily part of my life. Currently i am developing a keen interest in Manga and Comic style art and am working with pencil and photoshop to develop my style. I’m also a hobby Photographer and have been for almost 10 years. My Art can be found at DeviantART.

Several years ago I became known for my faceless Islamic Dolls which can be seen and downloaded at Muslima Online Artists.
