Welcome to my portfolio site. My name is Pete Fecteau and I am a Web Designer. As you can see, I like to take unconventional approaches to web design. I think that there is great opportunity for new angles in web design and I like to push the envelope whenever I can. My blog offers tutorials and snippets on what I'm doing professionally. With that said, please enjoy what I have to offer and feel free to comment, either on the blog or you can send me an email. I'll be happy to answer any question you might have.

So you've come to this page because you want to learn a little bit about me. Wow, I flattered, really. Like I said before, my name is Pete Fecteau and I'm a web designer. I love what I do and when I'm not doing it, I'm looking for a reason to start doing it again. The internet is such a big and wonderful place. There's something new to learn that I can integrate into my work every day.

I'm originally from Maine and have a huge love of the outdoors because of it. The winters are bad but the seafood is great. I came to Michigan in 2003 for college and fell in love with West Michigan. I also fell in love with a girl but that's another story. I graduated from Kendall College of Art & Design in may of 2007 with a BFA in Digital Media Design. In August of 2007 I was hired at Spout.com as their first in-house designer. My official title there was Design Integrator and I did a lot of different things like HTML emails and blog administration. There was always a lot to do. I've recently left Spout and am pursuing other job oppertunities.

Lately I've been working with WordPress a lot. I was down in Dallas for a WordCamp and it got me really involved. I love WordPress. The great thing about it is that I'm able to use it to highlight my other interests. For instance, I'm an avid disc golfer, and use it to review courses, talk about my latest round, give my opinions on the new golf discs, and so much more. I also love to cook exotic foods (and eat them too, obviously). When I have the time I also like to paint. I'm always watching a baseball game. I have a four year old dalmatian named "Logo" who steals a lot of my attention, and socks. He knows lots of tricks. I love to read, and do so voratiously. I can solve a Rubik's Cube in under two minutes and have an IQ of 140. I'm 6'2" and smell like cinnamon rolls. Ok, that last one is a lie. I like to think that I bring a sense of humor everywhere I go and my friends say that they've never seen me upset, which is true. I have a terribly positive outlook on the world around me.

If you'd like to chat with me, you can use my AIM screenname "logothedog" or see my contact page for other means of communication.
