Jeremy Ricketts web development, user interface, & design.

By Day: Rich Media Engineer at iCrossing Inc. I work with a great team of developers, designers, and project managers on really big projects like Toyota, Hilton, Epson, and many other Fortune 500 brands. You can read more about that below.

By Night & Weekend: I'm currently available for new projects, so drop me a line if you think we'd work well together. I'm very organized about my freelance work since I can only take on one project at a time in my off hours. I set milestones, quote realistic time frames, work hard, communicate often, and take you and your project seriously.
