Online tech savvy long before the world wide web hit the mainstream, I've been providing freelance digital services to local and regional business, organizations, and individuals since 1992
I am passionate about open source, online education and technologies. I find our evolving digital culture fascinating in the extreme. I feel very comfortable working with digital communications media, and love exploring emerging technologies. I spend a lot of my free time talking tech, writing, and exploring MOOCs. Within my regional community, I am particularly active in advocacy initiatives related to the aged and the infirm, health care and women in crisis. I have always been very active in Federal Politics, and in provincial and regional social initiatives.
A half-century of steadily acquiring knowledge and skills has prepared me to both see, and embrace, new social and professional trajectories. I am able to embrace change instead of fearing it. Most importantly, it has empowered me to mentor as well as to learn. Generalist inclinations and habits have honed strong and diverse soft skills to compliment the specialized digital and project management hard skills I bring to the table.
I look forward to the opportunity of getting to know you, and the possibility of networking and collaborating with you. Let's get something awesome accomplished together.
Work Terms
Like most creatives, I don't box myself into 9-5, and work flow varies project by project. I do try to keep weekend work down to a minimum for family-work balance and continuity.
New to Guru, I am offering Guru-Only Rates. Service discounts range from 35-45%. The Deal: In exchange for a commitment to rate my services I will provide said services at a great discount. Clearly, if I am looking for good ratings -- you are guaranteed exceptional and timely service.
I prefer to charge on a per project basis -- hourly rates are rarely affordable and awkward to bill when it comes to digital services. Quotes are clear and detailed to avoid surprises and misunderstandings.
Upon receipt of your query or RFP I will respond by email within 24 hours.
I will gladly schedule consultation calls on Skype or Google. I'm very flexible and easy to get along with. I specialize in small business, nonprofits and start-ups and can easily customize project flow and delivery to suit you.
The nitty-grity:
25% down, 25% midway -- balance on delivery. Repeat customers are offered terms of 2/10/NET20. Payment by email transfer or PayPal.
