The Resume & Portfolio of Jamie Carter

Yup, that's me...

Jamie Carter (Continued..)

Through-out my younger years I’ve always been one for drawing and doodling (I still do it today, in those boring lectures), it even went as far as building complicated lego models. From there the next step was always going to be K’nex, but we all have to grow up someday (yes, in height of course).

During high school I was able to capture some of that energy in art classes and albeit learn to sketch, even in pen! That combined that with a curious nature of gadgets and gizmos and electrical whatchamacallits and you start cooking up an interesting mix.

I started web design when I was 15 as a light hobby, alongside computer games and swimming.. and tried to set up numerous websites (as one does), but when excitement and “what could be apparitions” exceeds skills and direction, well you can guess.

Since then I’ve continually developed my skills by challenging myself to do bigger and better, I even dabbled in coding and created a Wordpress theme, but hey we all make mistakes . This was a turning point in my online activities and I moved away from the coding aspects of web creation towards the more creative role.
