This is the online portfolio for myself, Kyle Barr. I am a graduate from Miami University, having majored in Management Information Systems and minored in Computer Science. While I have experience in a wide range of computer skills, I specialize in website design and development. Most of my work has been local to the Cincinnati, OH area, although I now live in Tampa, FL.

All of my designs are custom-created in Adobe Photoshop and hand-coded in metapad, a lightweight Notepad replacement. Generally my sites are written in XHTML 1.0 Strict or Transitional and are validated against the W3C's HTML and CSS validators.

While I try to work with as many original elements as possible, I also value the availability of Public Domain, Creative Commons and Open Source resources. This current design uses content from Room122 and FFonts.
