About
Hi my name is Shane Prendergast. I am 25 years of age and currently reside in sunny Scarborough, North Yorkshire.

I am experienced in design software such as Photoshop, illustrator, InDesign and Dreamweaver. My main assets include front end development, User Interface design and typography. I have also worked extensively with the WordPress platform to create bespoke CMS powered websites.

I am the creator of worthyofnote.co.uk. A Web Design Resource website.
