Ryan Bassett Web Designer

About the developer

A creative foundation with a practical development mindset.

Graphic design gave me the eye. Web development taught me how to make the work function.

01

Professional Overview

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Graphic and Media Arts, graduating from Southern New Hampshire University in 2024 with a 3.881 GPA.

My background combines a strong foundation in design with years of experience in web development, allowing me to approach projects from both a visual and technical perspective. I build responsive interfaces, interactive experiences, and practical web solutions with an emphasis on usability and maintainability.

What I bring

Three parts of the same discipline.

01

Design foundation

My design education shapes how I think about hierarchy, composition, typography, visual systems, and the experience of the person using the site.

02

Development mindset

I began by teaching myself HTML and expanded into JavaScript and modern web tools, with a focus on turning ideas into functional, production-ready experiences.

03

Real-world focus

I have developed successful online sites and have experience with SEO strategy and implementation, including a personal business where organic search drove most incoming clients.

01 / Foundations

Why I design and build for the web.

My interest in web design and development started with curiosity about how websites were made. I knew I wanted to create them myself, so I began with HTML and kept expanding into interactive experiences with JavaScript and modern web tools.

That curiosity evolved into a focus on functional, real-world applications. I work comfortably in hand-coded environments and can also use CMS systems and visual web development platforms depending on project needs.
