This theme was designed by Xiaoying Riley at 3rd Wave Media (http://themes.3rdwavemedia.com/). Visit her website for more themes http://themes.3rdwavemedia.com/. Webjeda made this into a Jekyll Theme: http://webjeda.com/online-cv/. Visit their website for more Jekyll themes and for custom website design. Eli Holmes modified Webjeda's design to make it more suitable for a simple flat resume.
