Black Sturgeon Lake in Ontario
The short version: I’m a Canadian living in Winkler, Manitoba, with a strong interest in web design, 3D, and technology in general.
The long version: With constructive beginnings in the design industry (Lego), I’ve always enjoyed the process of creating for a wider audience to see. Around 2004, I began to involve myself in the web as the then amazing high speed internet arrived into my home. High speed brought new possibilities, and the explosion of Flash, 3D, and web standards sparked my interest. Here was a new medium, just starting to explore its uses, misuses, and best practices.
At first, it’s easy to become wrapped up in the latest web trend, such as glossy icons, bevels, huge drop shadows, bright gradients, and huge bubble fonts. While these techniques can be used appropriately, they are more often not. Its all about creating an experience to match your content, which is what I strive for. As you can see, I enjoy taking inspiration from nature, which I believe to be the best design of all.
I’m currently employed at Pixels in Winkler, Manitoba. Check them out if you need web design, graphic design, or printing!
