Web & UX Design

South Austin Gym is a local boxing gym that offers mixed- martial arts and personal training. Heuristics testing revealed several UX and developer issues. I redesigned their website from the ground up, using personas, wireframes, protoyping, and applying modern web design principles. It was developed with Bootstrap 5. Click on the image above to see my redesign. See the original site to compare the two.

A modern, one page web page prototype I cafted for a recipe blog. Using star ratings is a must for most article websites.

A simple photo gallery website which showcases some of my work. This is just a simple prototype I created with Adobe Photoshop.

A modern, responsive reelancer website designed for a class project and using felxbox and grid. Atilax is a type of mongoose.

Dutch Bros Cofee is a national coffee brand, with Starbucks being their largest compettitor. For a class assignemt I worked with a group of students to redesign their website. This included creating user personas and hueristc testing. We did not create a live site, just prototypes.

This was a school project for ASU where I was learning Adobe After Effects. The design represents a faux game called Chess King and this shows an interface I designed for a mobile app.
Graphic Design

Web and UX Designers create peronas at the early stages of a project. They are used for defining your target audience and as a reference when creating a design. I crafted this one with Adobe InDesign.

Poster design for a class projec using Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, and Adobe Illustrator.

Many schools will hold seminars for a lecture series. I created this one for a class project using Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, and Adobe Illustrator.

Bauahus was an art movement from the early 20th century that began in Germany. I created this for a class project because I wanted to study this time period. This poster was based off a popular Bauhaus poster from artist Joost Schmidt.

Jimi Hendrix was one of the greatest guitarists who ever lived. I'm a big fan of his, and you'll see this theme repeated in my work. I created this with Photoshop for a class project.
Illustration

I like to practice drawing when I have spare time, which is hardly ever anymore. I've taken some drawing classes and continue to improve the more I practice.

Another one of my illustrations. This was done with pencil and a sketch pad.
Animation & Video

This was for a video production class where I learned Adobe Premiere. This is a short film about my daily walk with my dog, Star. It was filmed in a day using an iPhone.

Lower Thirds are common in TV. Typically you'll see them during sports games at the bottom of the screen listing player stats and scores. News programs use them often as well. I created this one for a class using Adobe After Effects.

This was a faux commercial I made for a film class using Adobe Premiere. My dog, Star, loves Blue Wilderness Dental Bones, and I just happened to have an idea to create a funny commercial for my project. I ended up sending this to the company, Blue Buffalo, and they really loved it and showed it around the office. In appreciation, they sent me a box of treats for Star.
About Me
Hello! My name is Sean Showalter. I’m a freelance web designer and recent graduate of Arizona State University, where I got my BS in Graphic Information Technology.
Currently, I work as an Uber driver. In fact, it was via Uber that I began to attend college at ASU through a scholarship program that they offer.
I’ve lived in Austin, TX for 20 years now. I moved here from the DC area to pursue a music career. I have performed in and around Austin for the last two decades, but decided that I would like to get a career as a Web Designer and Developer.
I’ve also worked in the IT industry over the years as a developer, systems administrator, and a web designer.
Outside of work I still enjoy playing music, walking my dog, reading, playing games, and hanging out at coffee shops.
