Profile: https://flows.cv/michaelmarcialis

I am a principal product/UI/UX designer and front-end developer with nearly 20 years of experience utilizing my skills in design, HTML, CSS and Javascript to create modern, usable, accessible and responsive Web-based interfaces. I graduated from George Mason University in 2004, with a degree in journalism and a minor in information technology. After graduation, I discovered a love for design and bringing those designs to life on the Web.

Beyond that, I am a husband, a father of two handsome sons and two beautiful daughters. I am also an avid video game fan, with more games than I dare to count.
