Roland L. Taylor
Hi! I'm Roland L. Taylor (RolandiXor) - web & graphics designer, photographer, creative & technical writer, and founder of RolandiXor Media Inc . Every project tells a piece of my creative journey. This is a glimpse into that story, still unfolding.
With me, there's always something new in the works! Want to see what I've been up to lately?

When it comes to the frontend, I love getting my hands dirty - digging into the ground-level of the stack (HTML/CSS/JS) to find that sweet spot between clean design, impressive visuals, and snappy performance.
Having cut my teeth on the popular Bootstrap framework, I've since grown to craft my own, such as the Anole framework . In addition, I actively develop multiple original website templates. Over years, my interest in CSS has gone from a simple curiousity, to an overwhelming passion. So much so, I've even made a game of it!
My design process begins from the moment a keyword is dropped my way. Whether a client knows exactly what they're looking for, or just has a rough idea of what could be, I listen for those core themematic elements that inspire and shape their vision.
I've touched everything from intricate pixel art (much of it lost to time) to digital painting, to vector graphics and Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) in both stills and animations. When I'm not crafting wonderous works of art, I'm taking in new concepts to apply at the next opportunity.
Along with paid work, I've put my skills to use in giving back to the global community. One of my proudest contributions was to the popular Numix Project, to which I contributed multiple high-quality icons, including icons for Dia, Arronax, Xiphos, and Bluefish.
From childhood, my mind has wandered the halls of creativity and imagination, seeking new opportunities to bring uniquely fresh ideas to life. Though arts and crafts in the analog world were my primary pursuit in those early days, I'd always been drawn to the unfettered realm of the digital space. Ever since I could get my hands on a mouse, I've been pushing pixels - for so long in fact, I can't even remember the age when I got started!
I'm always hungry for a new opportunity to help others succeed.
You provide the vision, and I'll bring it to life!
