Sketch is a powerful application created specifically for design. In this video I walk you through some of the features Sketch has to offer and why it is the preferred software to use for designers. As a demonstration I create a fictitious website landing page that has an adventure/lifestyle look and feel.

ABOUT ME:
Hey there, I’m Cody. A craft-beer drinking Designer & Art Director living in San Diego, Ca.
I’ve been designing professionally for the last 6 years and have learned quite a bit along the way. Throughout my career as a creative I’ve had the pleasure of designing for a number of incredible brands & creative agencies.
From working with a variety of clients and organizations, my style can been seen as eclectic and constantly evolving, much like a chameleon. In the world of commercial arts I’ve had to get out of my comfort zone and adapt to the brands and tasks at hand. I like to think that my personal aesthetic is contemporary and minimal combing modern techniques with classic design elements.
