Theate Passe Muraille required an easy to update, responsive custom Wordpress theme.

Graphic Design Personal

In my spare time I've always enjoyed drawing, painting and illustration. Since I've always had a strong background in the digital arts, I've found it a fun challenge to mix and match styles together in different media. Most of my digital artwork is created in Illustrator, Photoshop and Painter.

Design is my passion, and I believe the right way to do it is by hand-crafting everything I make and taking pride in what I create. This approach means I always push myself a little further with each creation, and that my skill set is constantly evolving.

These are some of the tools and technologies I use when I’m designing:

WordPress
Jquery
Bootstrap
Grunt
Node.js
LESS
Git
Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign

And here are some of the amazingly cool tools I used to make this site: fontawesome, anythingslider, html5blank, xampp, putty, filezilla
