Dave Hamel’s Summary

I have a lot of experience in various web-related fields, because I don't see them as separate fields, rather as parts of an integrated whole.

With a BFA, design was a natural place to start my journey into the web. Typography, color, and layout - these came naturally and easily. And while I could make sites that looked how I wanted, programming them was difficult.

At Sheridan College I was able to hone my programming skills and for many years worked happily at agencies and as a freelancer.

Now I am able to bring my experience into analysis to paint a richer picture of web metrics and user behavior.
