About Me

Hi, my name is Sadhana Patel and I am a creative web & graphic designer with exposure to Digital Media Agency. I started designing since 2001 and most of my design skills and knowledge are self-taught. I have in-depth knowledge of Photoshop, Flash, Dreamweaver, Illustrator (Basic), XHTML, HTML5, JavaScript, JQuery and CSS2.1 / 3.

I have also experience of Search Engine Optimization techniques (SEO), specialize in standards-based HTML5, XHTML and CSS3 using latest W3C web standards guidelines and am skilled in cross-browser troubleshooting.

Designing isn't just a job for me, it’s something I love to do. My love for creativity and colours is reflected in every walk of my life. 

I try to learn a new skill every day and I am so passionate about my work that I won’t give up until I am fully satisfied with the outcome.

Thank you for Reading!

It was my first time working with Responsive design, coding with the Bootstrap and bit of the hand coding Javascript. Later on I did lot of work using this technologies. It was amazing experience working with Barclays.
