I have been designing web sites since 2001; I started after taking a basic HTML class in middle school. I quickly developed an interest for it, and began furthering my knowledge by mastering HTML and teaching myself JavaScript on a "need to know" basis. Most of my designs were created for small businesses in Casper, WY. The company I started designing web sites for still uses my services for their web site, http://www.thecarshopwy.com/. Since that time I have learned CSS, XHTML, and PHP to further improve my skills. I have an extensive knowledge of Adobe Photoshop which I use to create my web site designs.
I have really enjoyed skinning an application called Steam; it is a digital distribution system created by VALVe for computer video games. Skinning Steam allows for a great deal of freedom while restricting me to just changing the interface without any programming necessary. Some examples of my work can by found in the Skins & GUIs section of my Portfolio. I have also programmed several applications that utilize GUIs for my Computer Science courses at Montana State University.
I started programming while I was in high school for a computer science course I elected to take. The class taught Visual Basic and it gave me a firm foundation for learning other programming languages. Since then I have taken Program Design in C courses, as well as several advanced Java classes, including Data Structure and Algorithm courses.

[Ryan] knows what he's doing and he does a great job at it. I don't have to be able to understand what he does (or how he does it) to see and appreciate the quality of his work. Ryan's services and abilities are good enough for large corporations, but they are prefect for the needs of small businesses.
