My name is Michael Lazzaro.

I am a graphic designer born in Upstate New York, now living in Seattle, Washington. I specialize in User Interface Design and Development. I build clean, appealing, and functional interfaces which comply with the latest web standards. But that's just a part of it. Design is my life. It's my obsession. It's my roller-coaster. It's something I do before going to bed, and something I can't wait to do in the professional world. Without it, my life would be lack-luster and certainly be boring.

I design with Photoshop, Audition, Dreamweaver, and Flash. I code sites with XHTML and CSS; along with JavaScript, JQuery, Actionscript, and PHP. I can build personal and professional pages through engines like Blogger, Wordpress, and Tumblr as well as independent programs..

Though I am proud to be known as a designer I am also a journalist and blogger. I report on political and social issues as well as sports, video games, and the entertainment industry. I enjoy interacting, building, and sharing functional media for these topics. The most enjoyable, is the feedback I get from other people, either through comments, e-mails and personal conversations.
