Let’s say

pixelfashion is our home (and business) where we write about coding technologies, design, css and the projects we’re working on. It’s also our portfolio site where we showcase some of the applications and sites we’ve designed! Oh, and we often get designer friends to contribute articles to get different opinions and views, which we think is very important!

Resume

I am self-employed as a programming designer, 33 years old and specialized in the fields of corporate identity, web & print design and rich Internet application development with the majority of my time spent designing and implementing marketing promotions for small businesses such as logos, websites, brochures, letterhead, business cards and more.

What I am currently doing is studying Information Technology and Computing (majoring in Design) in the 3rd year at Newcastle University. Nevertheless, I have had multitude of experience. My life is design & source code - I love it and I surround myself with it every day.

Me

I am enthusiastic (I want to learn), skeptical (I think critically) and focused (I have the right attitude).
