Martin Ferrini 306 Petaluma Blvd S Petaluma, CA 94952 Phone: 707-364-0033 E-Mail: mferrini@gmail.com Web: http://fledglingdesign.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have extensive experience designing for the web and print and I am well versed with the concepts and constraints of both. I am comfortable communicating with designers and engineers and see my biggest strength as a kind of bridge between the two archetypes. In other words, I am engaged enough with both design from an aesthetic and practical perspective, and programming and the ever-changing trends, developments and best practices of the tech landscape from a conceptual and pragmatic perspective. I am excellent at identifying the challenges and solutions to any demanding design project and I am a personable, and motivated team player.
