# Joe Bentley

> Design / Animation

My design career started at Targetfollow, producing brochures and advertisements for print. Back then, Flash dominated the web, but when Google pushed the industry towards HTML-based websites, I saw an opportunity to learn something new. That shift sparked my interest in website design and user interfaces, setting me on a path that has since grown to include web design, animation, motion graphics, infographics, and digital experiences.
