Hello! 👋
I'm Jack Graddon, a freelance Web Developer and Graphic Designer with a passion for creating technology that is intuitive, accessible, and enjoyable. My studies in Digital Technology and Culture at Washington State University, as a Regent Scholar and Honors Student, empower me to approach challenges with creativity and determination.
My goal? To make technology easier for everyone—whether they're tech-savvy or just getting started.
Experience
I've worked on diverse web development projects, including modernizing websites for organizations like the Cowboy Ted Foundation and the Learning and Performance Research Center at WSU. These projects taught me how to create engaging user experiences while adhering to professional standards. Over the years, I’ve worked on many exciting projects. Some of my highlights are below!
How It All Began
My journey started at my grandparents' house, exploring design through Microsoft Publisher. That simple beginning sparked my love for technology and design. Over the years, I've taught myself to code (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), mastered tools like Photoshop and Illustrator, and even ventured into 3D modeling with Blender.
I've always been a hands-on learner, taking things apart to figure out how they work (though at the time they only went back together successfully 20% of the time). This curiosity has fueled my love for creating things that are visually and functionally excellent.
Education & Skills
From high school design and coding classes to advanced university courses, I've built a solid foundation in:
Web Development
Skilled in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, I create clean, responsive, and user-friendly websites tailored to client needs. My focus is on modern design principles, accessibility, and functionality, ensuring that each project not only looks great but performs flawlessly across devices and browsers.
Design Software
Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite, my preferred Affinity Suite, and Figma, I bring ideas to life with exceptional graphic design, prototyping, and branding capabilities. From crafting pixel-perfect user interfaces to creating stunning visual content, I specialize in delivering designs that captivate and inspire.

Experienced in video editing and production using Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Motion, as well as audio production with Logic Pro. I produce engaging and professional-quality media content, ensuring every detail enhances the overall storytelling experience.
