About Me
As you’ve probably gleaned, I’m a designer.
More specifically, I’m a designer with a coding background. I grew up with a keyboard at my fingertips. From my first computer (a Commodore 64), through years of Performas and home-built Pentiums, up ‘til now — where I type this on a MacBook — I’ve been typing, clicking, and learning. Design is the second half of the equation — through both disciplines, I look to improve the other.
These days, I enjoy working in a frontend development environment — building & designing websites from the art direction to the code, while knowing enough about the data shuffling of backend systems to work closely and productively with web developers.
In addition to web design, I handle whatever else is thrown my way: print media, tradeshow wall graphics, t-shirts — and every once in a while, an iPhone app UI.
Cameron Daigle Dot Com has gone through many incarnations (about half of them one-page ‘coming soon’ screens), but this is the first to be exclusively design-oriented. All of my peripheral activities are on other domains — everything here is in some way related to my work (and play) as a designer. I hope you enjoy.

Since this is the Biography section, I feel that I should clarify something that Google may attempt to obfuscate: while my name is quite unique and Googleable, there are a couple of other Cameron Daigles in the world. For the record, I do not write poetry online, nor do I post YouTube videos of my George W. Bush impressions. Lastly, if you happen upon a video of Cameron Daigle getting hit in the face by an exercise machine, that is also not me. Thank you for your time.
