Joe Bergantine: Interactive Designer
Joe Bergantine in New York City in 2009

This is the personal site and portfolio of Joe Bergantine, a Bozeman, Montana - based graphic and web designer, developer and sometimes photographer.

A Bozeman native, I have been designing websites and programming applications since the mid 90's. The first program I developed was a tick-tack-toe game for the TI-82 calculator in middle school. At the time I wanted to be a photographer, not a programmer, but that TI-82 program was a truer sign of the path my design career has taken than I would have given it credit for.

I am a 2005 graduate of the Art Institue of Portland with a Bachelor of Science in Graphic Design. In 2006 I moved back to Bozeman to join Thibeault Studios as a graphic designer after working as a freelance designer and production artist in Portland. A couple years later, Thibeault Studios merged with O'Berry | Cavanaugh, now O'Berry Collaborative, a branding and marketing firm, and I stayed on as a graphic designer. In 2008 I worked with the company to create an interactive department which I currently lead — stradling the roles of interactive designer, developer, information architect, SEO, e-marketer, and occasional sysadmin.

My black labrador, Eddie, and I can be found cycling, skiing, or running around Bozeman, traveling and taking photographs.
