About Xavier Galvin

Although I am primarily a web guy (design and development), the “Multimedia Design” label seems to fit better. I find that many skills are transferable and even complementary; besides, passion rarely takes the linear route.

I am both a student and a professional, but what do I actually do? Professionally, I create websites and web apps. I love clean designs and minimal code. As a student I'm always learning, and when I can, I practice animation, photography, and drawing.
