“If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.”

Me.

Hey, that's my name up there. ↑ I'm a web design and information architecture enthusiast hailing from the sout­hern reaches of the frozen north, Finland. This site functions both as a mini-resumé and my own little corner on the web. I'm not actively looking for freelance work at this time.

I've been designing and implementing websites for the past three years, all the while vigorously studying and gaining experience on what makes for a good design: functionality and relevance. Design isn't about pretty pictures or choosing the right font, it's about sending a message and making sure it gets received and understood.

Every element of my designs has a reason for being there. I especially place emphasis on accessibility and information design, ensuring that every visitor finds what they're looking for and doesn't get frustrated.

Expert in information architecture, web design, XHTML, CSS, typography and accessibility.

Proficient with Adobe Fireworks, Photoshop, In­Design, GIMP and Eclipse.

Familiar with PHP, Python, Django, jQuery, Flash, print design, SEO and many popular content manage­ment systems, inclu­ding Wordpress, Joomla and Drupal.

Sinnica Hax is the alias of Fredrik Harrysson, a Swe­dish multi-genre producer.

Fredrik's site needed a remake to provide more exposure for his music. The huge media player at the top does just that. The de­sign is minimalistic to compensate for the media bandwidth costs and high load times.

Halat Askari is a photo­grapher and retoucher hailing from Norway.

Elegance and focus on Halat's work are the key features of this layout. The photographs take the center stage, undisturbed by the clean design. Zen­photo is used as the back­end and jQuery provides tasteful visual effects.

The Blogoholic is the blog of Alex Tomkins, a British web developer.

I helped Alex turn his idea for a Wordpress blog into reality. The site gives off a very personal feel thanks to his disturbing Mii and the warm colour scheme. Extra care was taken with the typography to ensure the light-on-dark text would be readable.
