About

My name is Steve Callan and I am a web designer & developer.

Background

After one year at Berklee College of Music, I spent the next two years in business school before leaving to pursue music full-time.  I spent the next three years traveling around the country in a cramped van with four other guys playing music. It was at this stage of my life that I began designing web pages for our band and other groups we met along the way.  We couldn’t afford a web or graphic designer so I taught myself, and fell in love with it almost immediately.

Since then I have left life on the road behind. Now I live in Haverhill, Ma with my wife, our son and our dog.

I am currently employed full-time as a web developer: maintaining database structures, application development and general Web Design for Watts Water Technologies in North Andover, MA.  I am continuing to take on a healthy amount of freelance work, always trying to be more and more creative with each new project.
