about me

 




Hello!

My name is Kyle Lamont a freelance designer who resides in Midland, Ontario. Funktion Design is my freelance business I have been operating for three years. I am currently looking for work in the graphics/web design field and/or freelance/contract work.

In 1999 I started school at Georgian College in the Art Fundamentals Certificate program. I was part of the Georgian Scholarship show in Art Fundamentals and maintained a 90% average throughout my 3 years at Georgian. In my first year of Graphic Design I won the CURRY'S SCHOLARSHIP AWARD which recognizes excellence in illustration. In my final year I won THE NEW VR EXCELLENCE IN GRAPHIC DESIGN AWARD in the DVA Scholarship Show.

In 2002 I won two MACROMEDIA STUDENT INNOVATOR AWARDS!
•First Place
for best portfolio site in higher education (THIS ONE!)
•Third Place for best focused site (FOUR the love of dirt)
You can visit the Macromedia winners gallery at: http://www.macromedia.com/resources/student/innovation/gallery/fall2002.html

My time outside graphic design fills up quickly. I enjoy snowboarding (13 years riding), gliding snowshoes (Yupi's?), mountain biking, hiking, camping, spinning records (vinyl), travel, video editing as well as woodworking. I have lived in New Zealand for a year and have traveled down the west coast to California on my mountain bike. Also, I have lived in Whistler for three years and on a few gulf islands.

For a more formal look at my past experience look at my resume. The photos section includes some digital photography of both personal enjoyment and professional work.

I was part of an art show called Smatterings in July 2002 in Penetanguishene, Ontario. My theme was robotiK organiK and you can view that work by clicking on the dragonfly invitation below.

Thank- you for visiting...

Kyle Lamont
