Biography

My name is Danielle Matherne, and I was first introduced to graphic design at 10 years old with the accidental purchase of an HTML book. Using that book and my own incessant need to learn, I developed a love not only for the development of a website, but also for the design of the site as well. Imagine my surprise when I discovered I could do what I love for a living!

Beside web design and development, I also have Photoshop abilities focused on photo manipulation (i.e. retouching, recomposition, etcetera) thanks to my experience working in a photography studio in addition to a strong foundation in conceptual thinking and print design. Please take a look around and feel free to contact me with any questions.
