Hi, my name is Pat Dryburgh
A designer, developer, and musician in London, ON
I’ve been building on the web for over twenty years. In 1999, I built and hosted my first website, producepat.com, using a simple drag-and-drop website builder called Cool Page.1
In the time since, I’ve worked with some great teams and clients including Blanc Media, Ensibuuko, Platero Visual, Arc’teryx, Stantec, Carly Thomas, Tim Latham, Fusion Ads, Corona Light, Pepsi Max, Ongo, Agent Inbox, Perch, Finstripe, Brewhouse, Steamclock, Grooveshark, CocoaTech, QuickCal, Fraser Speirs, Lake Steilacoom Improvement Club, Viral Foundry, UpThemes, Adobe, Thorel Woodworking, Patrick Rhone, Ethical Coffee Chain, Rye 51, and Make IT.
My work has been featured in Beautiful Pixels, TechCrunch, Gigaom, VentureBeat, and the iOS App Store.

I’ve tried to find some form of proof of this claim, but neither the Wayback Machine nor any WhoIs directory I’ve found has a record of this. I’m assuming this is because Cool Page offered the domain name to me for free in exchange for allowing them to put ads on my nascent pro-produce website. ↩
