Calum Ryan - Multimedia Architect - Portfolio
Design, Creating & Delivering multimedia to inspire & spark engagement is my passion.
About
My focus of discipline is in front-end development with an enthusiasm and commitment to good design in both visual and functional aspects of applications.
I'm best described as a multimedia architect as I work primarily on the design and concepts of digital media including websites and mobile applications. I understand the medium in which I work and its limitations: I've the fluency in HTML, CSS and JavaScript giving realistic perspective on my designs.
My background has to date included a mixture of design and technical development related roles including a 1 year placement with Film Education. I have worked for clients including Warner Brothers, Pathé International and Paramount Pictures. I have a First Class BSc (hons) degree in Multimedia Technology & Design from Brunel University, London.
