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.

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. In high school I turned to photography which lead me to digital art and in 2005 I graduated from the Art Institue of Portland with a BS in Graphic Design. Since then I've returned to scripting my designs. While my schoolmates have become talented illustrators, I've learned object oriented programming.

In 2006 I moved back to my hometown of Bozeman, MT to join Thibeault Studios, now O'Berry Collaborative, as a graphic designer after working as a freelance designer and production artist in Portland. In 2008 we created an interactive department which I lead — stradling the roles of interactive designer, developer, information architect, e-marketer, and occasional sysadmin.

In my spare time I lurk on the Coda Users mailing list trying to answer questions about syntax modes and version management. I also spend time cycling, skiing, and running around Bozeman with my black labrador, Eddie.
