Hi. I'm Josh. I'm a web designer living and working in Cleveland, Ohio. I design clean, modern, effective websites using HTML, CSS and jQuery. I also like to wear kilts.

Me as the Douglas
The start of it all

Yes, kilts. In 2003 I played a great Scottish warrior known as “the Douglas”, in the Cleveland Shakespeare Festival's production of Henry IV. We thought it would be appropriate for me to wear a kilt for the role, so I bought a velcro-closure, polyester “Sport Kilt”… and I loved it! I started wearing it around the house, and eventually out in public, but lack of pockets made it impractical. Then I found the Utilikilt — a kilt with cargo pockets! I wear mine all the time. I even got married in an authentic Scottish kilt, in my wife's family tartan. It cost more than her dress.

The short version? Hire me, and not only will you be getting a talented designer, you'll be getting a fashionable one.
