Daniel Cranney
About
Hello! I'm Dan and I'm a frontend developer, designer and teacher from Bristol, England.
After building my first website aged thirteen, I knew I wanted to work with computers and technology, and I've never looked back.
After graduating University with a Media degree, I began freelancing as a designer, creating graphics, video content and websites for small businesses, using content management systems like Wordpress, Joomla and Squarespace.
In recent years, I've been focused on programming, building a solid frontend stack and creating exciting projects that solve real-world problems.
Alongside my design and development work, I run a BA Media Production degree course and a corporate video production company called Spotlight Media, so I like to keep busy!
Take a look at my work below to see what I'm working on, and get in touch if you'd like to work together!
