A little History
I started out in the print industry many years ago, moving swiftly into the 'interactive' / 'new media' area.
I have been working within this industry for more than 15 year now.
Working in the gaming, travel, insurance, financial, communications and travel industry I have been priviledged enough to see the industry move from print through to cdrom development, html, flash, css, and finally the introduction of usability standards.
