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.

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.

Funny Dog Treat Commercial

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.

Download Résumé

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.
