Welcome to the retro version of My PORTFOLIO




Shawn Farnum

Who am I?


I am Shawn Farnum, a trained Graphic Designer with expertise in front-end Web Design. My educational journey at Montana State University, where I majored in Graphic Design and earned a BFA in December of 2021, has equipped me with an extensive understanding of design principles. These principles are the bedrock of my approach to web design, enabling me to create digital experiences that are both aesthetically remarkable and user-centric.

In my web design portfolio, you will discover various projects demonstrating my ability to merge visual creativity with functional web solutions. My expertise extends beyond the technicalities of coding to encompass a holistic understanding of what makes a website truly engaging and effective.

As a web designer, I focus on creating cohesive and immersive online experiences. I blend the artistic elements of graphic design with the practical aspects of web usability, ensuring that each project is visually striking but also intuitive and responsive. This synergy of art and functionality is a hallmark of my work, reflecting my commitment to crafting websites that balance aesthetic appeal with seamless user interaction.

My passion lies in developing web experiences that captivate and connect with users. I am dedicated to delivering designs that are not just visually beautiful but also highly intuitive, offering users a seamless journey through well-structured and thoughtfully designed web spaces.

I am currently seeking full-time remote employment opportunities in UI/UX/Web/Graphic Design and I’ve also been toying with the idea of pursuing a master’s in UX depending on what opportunities come my way.

“Shawn has been quite helpful as a co-founder of DropTrip. He is completely committed to its success and works to improve his skills and abilities on a regular basis to make that happen. He stays focused on the task at hand and clearly never stops thinking about the challenges we face and how to solve them. He is willing to jump in wherever needed.”

Doug Warner CEO at DropTrip

"Shawn was a pleasure to have on our team during his internship. Within a limited timeframe, he quickly dove into design tasks and saw larger projects to completion during the engagement. Shawn knows his toolset, what software to reach for, and the processes to employ when it comes to creative problem-solving."

Casey Ferguson Vice President of Marketing at Zoot Enterprises

"Shawn is responsive, helpful and a self-starter. He helped us with a website redesign and not only came to the table with good ideas but was fast working and on schedule. Even though the project is complete, Shawn is still helpful and willing to answer questions."

“Shawn is a superb designer and developer. Not only is he able to come up with a very esthetic and user-friendly layout, he is able to construct it with the necessary web development tools. He would be a twofold asset to any company.”

Nicholas Marucci Instructor at Montana Code School

“Shawn had a solid foundation in UI/UX design that proved to be very useful come course projects. His ability to charge forward into the realm of programming, further displayed his capacity to be highly trainable, as well as eager to learn. I believe he would make a great addition to any team.”
