René Haché
Head Print Designer / Developer / Web Application Program Instructor
René, 35, has been with northStudio and VSBT from the start. He plays a key role in helping NS clients get the look they want – not just for their websites, but also for printed media such as magazines, brochures, business cards and posters. He also prides himself on getting his projects done on time, and within budget.
Leaving New Brunswick for the bright lights of Ottawa in the early ‘90s, René studied business and economics and worked for a variety of companies doing mostly print-related work. He discovered a real talent for layout and design, and for color management in particular – the art of achieving consistent and accurate colors across multiple media. This led him to internet web design, where he transferred his skills from print to electronic media.
René is particularly adept with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. He also teaches VSBT students how to use CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and Content Management Systems (CMS).
He has been a keen photographer since he was a young man, and many of his photos have been used in his print and internet designs. Although he used to spend his spare time hiking and taking photos, René is now a confirmed “family man” and spends most of his free time looking after his 20 month old son.
