Hi, I'm Jared Devine, a hybrid designer and front-end developer with a background in Interactive Multimedia Development from Algonquin College, where I graduated with honors in 2009. My career began in Toronto, working with digital agencies and large brands, which sharpened my design and development skills. I eventually returned to Ottawa, engaging in agency and freelance work before joining IBM as a UX Engineer. Over my five years there, my role evolved to focus on prototyping, interaction work, and ultimately, UX Design.

Over the last 15 years, my passion for technology has allowed me to develop a diverse skill set, thriving in UX Design and Front-End Development. I serve as a bridge between design and development teams, enhancing communication and collaboration, which is crucial for the successful release of modern, problem-solving, and inspiring products. This collaborative approach is vital in creating impactful and beautiful digital solutions.

I am committed to creating meaningful user experiences that simplify complex tasks, making digital products not only visually appealing but also functional and easy to use. By continuously learning and adapting to new technologies, design theories, and practices, I stay ahead in the field, allowing me to experiment with innovative concepts and solutions. My ultimate goal is to enhance people's lives through accessible, intuitive, and high-quality design.
