Hi! I am Louien Siy

I am a front web developer and creative graphic designer with more than twelve years of experience.

My short background

I am a freelancer, part coding, and creative designer.

My passion for design motivated me to choose the program of Fine Arts. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts Major in Advertising at EARIST Then I realized that the world of digital online was the new way of the future, and this is the reason I focused directly on Web and Graphic designing. And I studied and finished Web Design at the Academy of Learning College in British Columbia, Canada.

I have been heavily involved in the front-end development of HTML, CSS, and jQuery, user experience, and visual design. It keeps me motivated and open to many challenges. My focus is to create designs that are clean, innovative, stylish, and unique. My experience taught me to juggle multiple clients and to work fast and efficiently.

My Quotes

Working on a project without a plan is a waste of time and energy.
And if the plan does not work change the plan but never the goal.
If you don't have a plan, I always got one. Let me do your project!

How do I work?

My workflow

I used these steps as my standard process when I am working on a design project. This process keeps me organized and makes my job fast and effective so that I could provide my client with the best and quality output of creativeness. These are the following: 

1. Planning & Research

The project’s first step is most likely having a conversation with the client discussing the job they want to present. Asking them some questions that would help me fully understand what they require, the information collected will be my reference for doing research and starting a project plan.

2. Designing & Layout

After having a better understanding of the client’s needs and requirements, I can start designing the first layout of the artwork based on the information collected from the clients I have researched. When it is complete, I will present the artwork for final review and approval.

3. Revision & Development
When the designs are developed and ready for presentation and final approval, this is the time when my client can check for any additional needs and changes they want. If there are any, a revision of the artwork can be done. I desire that my clients will be satisfied with the final revision of the complete project before they approve it.
4. Finalization or Launching
We can call it a success when the project has been completed without any more changes when the client is fully satisfied and approves the final result of the project. At this time, I should provide all the necessary required files and final artwork to the client. This step applies to both digital and print artwork.

What do I use?

Software & Apps

I learned and tried a lot of different software and applications for my projects, and I only used the best that was easy and effective in creating my digital designs. Below are the software and applications that I regularly use in my day-to-day work.
