<p>I'm Geri Coady — a colour-obsessed freelance designer and illustrator (and occasional photographer) working in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._John's,_Newfoundland_and_Labrador">St. John's, Newfoundland</a> — the oldest and most Easterly city in North America.</p>
<p>I've been active in the design industry for over a decade, most recently as an art director at a Canadian advertising agency. I've worked with clients of all sizes in the private and public sector and recently illustrated a book for Scholastic UK.</p>
<p>I'm the author of <a href="http://www.fivesimplesteps.com/products/colour-accessibility">Pocket Guide to Colour Accessibility</a> published by Five Simple Steps and I speak about the topic at conferences worldwide.</p>
<p>I'm also a long-time supporter of the <a href="http://www.skillscanada.com">Skills Canada</a> organization, where I volunteer as a provincial technical committee member and coach for the web design and development competition.</p>

<h2>Q&A</h2>
<h3>Tell me more about this website.</h3>
<p>This site is built with HTML5 and CSS3, is powered by <a href="http://ellislab.com/expressionengine">ExpressionEngine CMS</a>, and hosted with <a href="http://mediatemple.net/">(mt) Media Temple</a>. It was designed with a responsive, mobile-first approach in mind and makes use of Scott Jehl’s Picturefill.js for responsive image support.</p>
<h3>What's your illustration process? Which tools do you use?</h3>
<p>I always sketch on paper first before heading to the computer. If you hire me for an illustration job, you’ll always see paper roughs before I proceed with the digital stages. As for tools, I switch between my Wacom Intuos 4 and Cintiq 24HD, depending on the job. I work primarily in Illustrator and Photoshop, but sometimes I dabble in Painter.</p>
<h3>You must have a good camera! What kind do you have?</h3>
<p>I'm not partial to any particular camera brand, but I own a Nikon D90. I also love shooting with my various Holga and lo-fi film cameras. I use Nikon Speedlights on location and Alien Bee strobes in the studio.</p>
<h3>Will you speak at my conference?</h3>
<p>It’s very possible! Drop me a line on my <a href="">contact page</a> and tell me more about your conference.</p>
