Keenan Fonger
UX / UI / Graphic Designer
Hello! I am a multi-disciplinary designer with 8+ years of academic and professional experience.
As an alumni of both Emily Carr University of Art and Design and SAIT (Southern Alberta Institute of Technology), I have been equipped with a powerful academic foundation, which I have taken and expanded, improved, and excelled within a wide variety of professional contexts.
I specialize in UX/UI design, graphic design, and HTML, CSS, and JS, showcased throughout my portfolio. UX/UI Design; I confidently develop web, app, and software design from initial wireframes and layouts to fully interactive Figma prototypes to launch-ready, user-informed final products. Graphic Design; I produce a wide variety of print and digital graphic material, from publications, digital advertisements, event materials, etc. HTML, CSS, JS; I have a fundamental competency with HTML, CSS, and JS web design, with strong understand of both potentials and limitations to effectively harmonize between designers and developers.
I’m capable, confident, and eager to take on any project, with a knowledge-based rooted in almost a decade of design experience.
Let’s make something amazing!
When I am not designing, I am falling at a climbing gym, fiddling at the piano, or working on my comic book. I am a big nerd, and am always eager to talk about the new book I’m reading or the cool video game I’m playing or the crazy TV show I’m watching.
