Kyle De Vares
Bold visuals with code behind them.
I'm Kyle De Vares, a multidisciplinary digital designer and creative developer with a passion for bold visuals, branding, illustration, and experimental digital projects. My work blends creativity with technology, combining design thinking, storytelling, and technical problem-solving to create engaging visual experiences.
With a background in Computer Science and Digital Media, I enjoy working across both creative and technical spaces, from branding and graphic design to creative coding, digital art, and interactive ideas. I'm especially drawn to projects that allow me to experiment, explore new styles, and push my skills further through hands-on learning and creative challenges.
Alongside freelance commissions and independent creative work, I've developed experience in web development, digital content creation, branding, and collaborative project work. During my internship at IPOP Digitals, I worked on responsive websites using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Git, and Agile workflows, helping build and maintain projects while strengthening both my development and teamwork skills.
Outside of design and coding, I'm heavily inspired by gaming, music, storytelling, online communities, fashion, and alternative visual culture. Whether I'm creating artwork, sewing, exploring new creative techniques, or experimenting with digital ideas, I'm always looking for ways to evolve both creatively and professionally.
I'm currently seeking opportunities where I can continue growing as a designer, contribute to meaningful creative projects, and collaborate with teams that value creativity, experimentation, and fresh ideas.
