GRAPHIC & WEB DESIGN

Glendon's love of digital imaging and desktop publishing is something that has continued to grow ever since he discovered "PCGrasp" and "Printshop" on his dad's computer as a child. His love of web design came about 10 years later when his older brother taught him to write HTML in a text document and view it in Netscape Navigator.

Between 2009 and 2012 Glendon spent 2 years as a Digital Imaging and Web Technologies Lecturer at SAE Byron Bay, while also working on his own projects.
