Profile

Guy Mercier provides graphic design services for print and the web. He is also skilled in 3D illustration, photography, communication, marketing, and computer programming. He likes to call himself:"The artistic techno geek." or as his father says: "He was born with a drawing pencil in his hands."

He has been in the forefront of technology since the introduction of personal home computers. He began in his career in the early 1980's as a drawing clerk for Telecom Canada while studying at Algonquin College in the evenings.  Eventually he became responsible for the creation and production of all national and international sales collateral and internal communication material for Stentor (the alliance of all the major telecommunications companies in Canada.) He received the designation of Registered Graphic Designers of Ontario in 1998. He then worked as senior graphic designer and creative director for graphic design firms in Ottawa until 2003.

He has freelanced throughout his career, but became a fulltime freelancer in 2003.  He does however occasionally work on a contract basis for the Federal government. He is currently under contract to provide web development services for the CRTC. Guy volunteers his services to a number of not-for-profit organizations such as: Ottawa Therapy Dogs, Ottawa Romance Writers Association, and Capital Crime Writers. Graphic design and web services are provided to Rachel Sentes of Gal-Friday Publicity in Edmonton, Alberta when required.

He takes great pride in every project he undertakes and provides valuable information to improve the end product.
