Summary
Christine Goodyear is a multidisciplinary creative and technologist based in Ottawa, combining 10+ years of software experience with a flourishing freelance photography practice. She balances precise engineering skills—years building web and desktop applications in C#, ASP.NET, WPF and reporting tools at Mitel—with a sensitive, intimate photographic style that prioritizes light, presence and human connection. Comfortable switching between "old school" and experimental methods, she designs compelling visual stories while also architecting pragmatic technical solutions like automated SSRS test frameworks and multilingual app support. Her background in law and East Asian studies, plus a semester in Japan, lend uncommon cultural curiosity and narrative depth to both her imagery and product work. Colleagues describe her as quietly exacting: she notices small moments others miss and then builds the systems or images to share them.
