Webdesign

A collection of websites I have designed:

Joel Kitching's Digital Portfolio (yes, you're here right now)
Regal av Midgard
Kerbside Services Inc.
HR Metrix
Photo Floor (my photoblog)
Rubbish Inc. (environmentalist site I created for a scholarship competition)
Irish Madness
JK Webdesign (recently added)

These sites were designed for the Skills Canada website design competition:

Al Dente Pasta (won gold in Surrey regional competition 2005)
UFC Technologies (won silver in British Columbia provincial competition 2005)
Eddie's Bike Shop (won gold in Surrey regional competition 2006)
Skills Canada Alumni (won gold in Canada national competition 2006)

I did not design these sites; I created them from mockup images and programmed their backends:

Peace Arch Soccer Club
Mississippi ReMixed (runs the Drupal content management system)
Common Craft (also runs the Drupal)

Sports

Soccer

I have been playing soccer since I was 12 years old, thoroughly enjoying the comradeship and the generally engaging environment provided by the sport. I intend to continue playing with the Peace Arch Soccer Club until graduation, where the U-18 group marks the end of soccer offered for youth. Eventually, I may join one of the men's teams later on in my life.
