My most recent work, just so happens to be this site. I enjoyed a little down time just working full-time at the bank I’ve been working at since high school, but on the side developed this portfolio site for myself. This site utilizes XHTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, and of course WordPress.

About Me

Welcome, my name is Spencer Schill and I’m a Web Developer/Designer with an interest in User-Centered Design and Development. I earned a Bachelor’s of Science Degree at the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point in December of 2010. While at UWSP my studies included Web and Digital Media Development, Business Administration, and the German language. My educational experiences also included various real-world applications with classroom projects focusing on real client work. Through all four and half years I also held a part-time job at a local bank as a Teller and IT Intern. These experiences have helped develop a unique self, merging both creativity and professionalism.
