Avery Smith Productions
Avery Smith Productions is my software engineering consultancy where we focus on highly complex, sophisticated web presences that look and feel cool.
1999 is the year I created my first website. I was in my dorm room, 19 years old, and didn’t care anything about computers. I was an art major. But when I learned that I could post my art to a “website” so that anyone in the world could see it, I was all in. Twenty-four hours later I had my own website.
Since then, it went from creating my own site, to sites for college organizations to full blown companies. I kept at it and good pretty good at programming to help actualize my creative online visions.
I am a senior software engineer with twenty-four years of experience. My languages of choice are JavaScript, HTML and CSS. You can learn more about my engineering capabilities at:
Never one to compartmentalize, designing user interfaces while also making them function is a passion of mine.
In 2003, I graduated with an Bachelor’s of Art Degree in Graphic Design. I then asked myself if I should focus on the web, or go into print. Back then, I figured that print was a shrinking, and that the web was a “new form of print”-the web was an new Gutenberg Press. If the web failed, I could always do print. But if the web succeeded, well, the sky was the limit. Either way, I’d be a pioneer.
And so here I am, still a pioneer. Still coding. Still designing. Still building. Twenty-four years in. Let’s see what the next twenty-four have in store.
