For start of this interview - can you tell us more about yourself - career, life, news, other stuff?…

I’m a web designer based in Thessaloniki, Greece and have been working on the web since 1998. I started my career in the UK after I took my MA in Computing. Having a background in History of Art, my first degree, somehow helped me to get involved with design and combine the two disciplines. At first, I worked for a printer, the Invicta Press in Kent, for 4 years and then I came back to Greece to continue what I was doing. I got involved with web standards and CSS/XHTML development in 2004. and realized I had to attend a college to follow the latest trends, which I managed to do a year later. On July 2007. I started working as a freelancer and since then I am busier than ever. I never thought I was ever going to do so well and get so much work over the internet.

I grew up in Jacksonville, FL for most of my life but my family immigrated from Taiwan. My first computer was an Apple IIGs with an Imagewriter printer. I loved that machine and I’ve been an Apple lover ever since. I worked at AOL in Dulles, VA for almost 9 years which in dog years is a lifetime ;). I recently joined Nclud.com (a web design firm in DC but I’m based in San Francisco) as an Art Director/ Consultant/Partner. I drove cross country this past year from Virginia when I moved to San Francisco in my VW Beetle.

For start of this interview - can you tell us more about yourself - career, life, news, other stuff?…

I’m a web/print designer based in Belgium and have been working for the web since 1996. My background is in print design because the web didn’t exist in my school days. Hell, even Photoshop and Illustrator didn’t exist back then. March 2006 was a turning point in my life because of the relaunch of my blog. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect all the attention. Since then it’s been a wild ride and it kept me very busy.
