Welcome to the Cappelen Art & Design website. Cappelen Art & Design is a Norwegian-registered sole proprietorship business created in 2011 by Ann Christin Cappelen. I take freelance jobs in web design, web development, and print design. You can read more about my skills and experience in the About / Contact section.
My largest advantage is that I am both a designer and a developer. I have always had an eye for design and drawing, but my education lies in development and programming. The two parts of me affects one and another so that I’m both a designer who understands the limits of putting something in code on the web, and a code monkey who can code things into something pretty without consulting an external designer.
Web Development
The code monkey in me has a solid foundation in HTML, CSS, PHP, XML, Javascript, jQuery, and Ajax. I’m also comfortable with MySQL databases and the Java programming language. I have written PHP based web sites since the age of 13, and the last five years I’ve gotten a solid knowledge in the WordPress CMS.
Graphic Work
Ever since I was a little kid I’ve always loved drawing. In the later years I’ve focused on designing for web, yet I have no formal education in design. But I do have an eye for design and have been using Adobe Photoshop for more than 10 years – both for drawing with a tablet, and for designing.
