A bit about me

Hey, my name is Shawn

I am a painter turned front-end web developer, skilled and educated in the artistic and the technical, with 8+ years working in web design and development, UI/UX, and graphic design.

I still love to paint. Any given Sunday you will find me scribbling some happy clouds with my daughter (once an artist, always an artist, amirite?).
