About
Hello!! My name is Patty Ho, I am a web designer based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Education Background
I graduated from Ontario College of Arts and Design (OCAD), Toronto in 2002, majored in Editorial, Graphic Design. I learned the foundation of typography, composition, color theory, and printing press. After I graduated from OCAD I then applied to Sheridan Institutes’s Interactive Multimedia as I wanted to pursue a career in web design.
In Sheridan’s Interactive Multimedia, I learned how to program by hand in HTML, Flash actionscript, CSS, and Database development. Right now my main strength is design and front-end site built with CSS.

SMG digital Senior Web Designer
After 3 years at Chum, I decided to move on to take on different projects and challenges. I landed myself a senior web designer position at Torstar Digital (child company of Torstar). My responsibility is to re-design current Toronto.com and maintain the aesthetic standard. I am also maintaining and creating microsites for Ourfaves.com as well.
My day to day duty is to maintain SMG digital property sites (thestar.com, yourhome.ca, parentcetnral.ca, toronto.com). And occasionally layout tweaks, and sales pitch.
What else can I say about myself?
I guess other than being a designer; I am also an active player participating in sports like Ultimate and Soccer. I love hiking, cooking, video games and enjoy trying out new things and being active. I love traveling and checking out what’s new in the world right now. I guess it’s the active energy that has kept me being a designer.
