Jack Mcdade

I have designed literally hundreds of bad websites and dozens of really good ones. I've been through the "trenches" of web design to learn how to do it properly. I had to enlarge a logo 410 times. I was forced to work with both Comic Sans and Zapfino in the same project. I made rounded corners from four separately cut .GIF files — yes, that happened too. I've been in design for over 15 years, and I've worked in various roles and companies, including: - a cog in the vast machine of a marketing agency - Director of Interactive at a growing web agency with work weeks of 60–80+ hours and nights spent on the office couch - "Design Technologist" on the (now closed) GE Design system team in San Francisco - freelance designer creating branding for startups and UI for MVPs - a designer who, for a time, was responsible for all visual aspects of the Laravel ecosystem - owner of my own small studio, Wilderborn - creator of Statamic — my bootstrapped indie CMS
