Resume - Joe Grist
November 2023I'm Joe Grist. I work as a designer and technologist in the software development and visual design fields. I create solutions by learning and deploying new technologies across any media, combined with traditional visual design principles. My work is no-nonsense, simple, correct, and tailored to your budget.
Skills
Event Identities
I regularly assist with building attention-grabbing graphics to brand community events, such as sports competitions or dance concerts. I use Adobe software (Illustrator, Photoshop, Fresco) to create a graphic that embodies the spirit of the event and that participants will enjoy seeing, or wearing when it is printed on apparel.

Business computer system user interfaces with an emphasis on usability and accessibility. Sometimes good design is not flashy.
Here is a timesheet entry system I am working on. It's designed for quick use on a tablet, hence the fat buttons to filter text without having to open the device keyboard.
