About Brian Treese

My name is Brian Treese. I am married to Jennifer Treese, and I am the father of two children: my son Avery and my daughter Dakota. Professionally, I am the Chief of User Experience at SoCreate, where I work with a team of talented professionals.

I have been designing and building websites since the early 2000s, which is over 20 years of experience in web development.

I built my first website in college for a t-shirt company that I started with two friends. The website included Adobe Flash animations and blinking text. The t-shirt company did not succeed as a business, but both of my former business partners went on to create successful companies: one founded 1850 Restaurant and Brewery and the other founded Fungi Temple.

After the t-shirt business ended, I created my first professional portfolio website without Flash animations or blinking text. I used this portfolio to apply for a position at Couto Solutions, where I was hired by Justin Couto.

When I started at Couto Solutions, my design skills were stronger than my coding skills. For the first paid website project I worked on at Couto Solutions, my coworker Jami, who was a software developer, taught me how to use the Slice tool in Adobe Photoshop. At that time, I had limited knowledge of HTML and CSS. Through daily use over the past 20+ years, I have developed expertise in HTML, CSS, and many other front-end programming languages, frameworks, tools, and technologies.

Working in web development requires continuous learning because technologies and best practices change frequently. I work hard to stay current with industry changes and new technologies.

Today, I work as the Chief of User Experience at SoCreate, where I collaborate daily with skilled developers to build products using modern web technologies. I enjoy the challenges of this work, and I also enjoy teaching others what I have learned. I have created tutorials, courses, and resources to help other web developers improve their skills.
