About

Edmonton Web Design and Photography

Welcome to the personal blog and showcase of Adam Patterson, an Edmonton Based Graphic and Web Designer. The basic principle behind my site is to give my work a home for people to view and to voice my opinion on a variety of topics.

The site is running off of WordPress with a custom CSS and XHTML theme for WordPress, The Gallery is running on ZenPhoto.

I have lived with computers all my life. My interest started along time ago, when I first used Adobe Photoshop 3.0 . My interest in visual design led to the Multimedia program at Alberta College (the program is now run by NAIT) were I graduated in 2002.

Since then, I have been doing freelance work, and have launched a number of company websites. Besides web design, I have worked in print, photography, audio and video editing, and logo design. I have kept up to date with current web trends such as Web 2.0, Grid Design, Standards and Content Management. I have a passion for multimedia and programming.

Prior to joining nForm, I worked for five years at United Cycle were I was in charge of training the mechanics on hydraulic braking systems, suspension theory, and wheel building. I also contributed to a number of company procedures that has improved work flow and reduced the customer turn around. As a Certified Bike Mechanic, I naturally have a passion for mountain biking.
