about me

My name is Andrew Theroux, and I live in Arlington, Virginia, which is just outside of Washington, D.C..
I currently have a full-time job in web development with awesome co-workers, but you may hire me for freelance projects and consulting.
My interests & areas of expertise are:
- Front-End Development
- web design
- (x)HTML & CSS coding
- jQuery
- turning Photoshop designs into valid (x)HTML & CSS (slicing)
- light to medium-duty graphic design
- Strategy & Project Planning
- wireframing
- content strategy & organization (information architecture)
- usability
- user-interfaces
- content-management systems
- SEO best-practices
Above all else, I love thoughtful user experience and elegant design, and I am constantly trying to improve my own skills.
My education
Making websites has been a passion of mine since middle school, but it didn’t quite click with me until much later that it’s something I could do as a full-time job.
So, I followed another passion and graduated from the University of Richmond (go Spiders!) with a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology and a minor in History thrown in for good measure.
I didn’t end up a biologist, but I like to think my liberal arts degree honed my communication skills and gave me a well-rounded education.
