Keith Parent

Front-end Designer / Developer

Baton Rouge, LA, USA
I fight the habit of gravity by utilizing both sides of my brain - my niche is the rare resolve between the technical and creative aspects of web design and web development that are often missing in many production environments. My creative and technical abilities are at the top of my field and I am always striving to expand, define and deliver a better result with every project I assume. I am very passionate about my work and I wear it on my sleeve - right next to my heart and kidney (so, please, no pointing and/or laughing…).
