Fullstack Developer/Multimedia Designer

📍Moncton, NB, Canada

My name is João Garçon, but you can call me JG.

I’ve been working in visual arts and technology since 2013, starting with graphic design and later expanding into web development. A recent graduate of NBCC’s Web and Mobile App Development program, I bring experience in front-end, back-end, and UX/UI design, along with a background in creating everything from social media content and print materials to websites, videos, and full branding. I specialize in designs that capture attention and enjoy projects that combine creativity with functionality.
