About

Hello! I am Angela Koskela, a web designer and developer from the US. I have been making websites since 2000. It started out as a hobby that turned into a fulfilling career. I worked full-time at a web design and marketing company from 2004-2010. I was promoted to Senior Designer in 2008.

I am currently a freelancing designer and developer for hire! I specialize in front-end web development and WordPress customization, and I can also create flyers, newsletters, ads for print or web, logos, and more!

I am also currently deep into my second year in the Graphic Design BFA program at University of Minnesota Duluth. So far, I have maintained a high GPA and made the Dean’s List every semester since I began in the Fall of 2010. I was part of the student senate and the Student Design Organization. I have earned an AA degree in Liberal Arts in 2008.

One of the things I find so engaging and fulfilling as a returning student with experience in the field I am studying, is that I can give advice and training to some of my fellow students—and even instructors! I love during downtime just “talking shop” about the web and graphic design fields, new technologies, and ideas of how to use them.

When not working hard, I watch movies, read articles and books, play SWTOR, walk my dog, enjoy stand-up comedy, and visit family.

Currently seeking employment and/or clients! 

I am planning to move to the Washington DC area in mid-to-late May 2012 (after completing the second year of Graphic Design BFA studies). My boyfriend is in the Navy and will be working at the Pentagon. I am seriously seeking employment in the Washington DC and Arlington, VA areas. I may also be interested in a telecommuting position based from anywhere.
