Rimel Design - The Personal Portfolio of Freelance Designer Brian Rimel

Background

As a designer with over five years of freelance experience, I have worked with clients ranging from local salons and college newspapers to record label start-ups and national corporations. I recently received a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration with a concentration in marketing. I have developed a wide range of design skills in both web and print, including HTML, CSS/xHTML, Javascript, Flash, as well as ASP/PHP database-driven components. More recently, I have developed skills in standards-based design and search engine optimization while working in a corporate setting.

I am currently seeking freelance jobs in web design/development and print design. This site contains just a few samples of my most recent work.
