Thirty years of web work. And still enjoying it.

I've been working in visual communication since 1968, when I was art director for a small independent magazine in New York City. From there I moved into silk screening on fabric and art, and eventually hand-setting movable type and pulling art prints on a Vandercook proof press.

In 1986 I sat down in front of a Mac running the desktop publishing app PageMaker and recognized that everything I had been creating by hand had just moved onto a screen. I soon switched to QuarkXPress from PageMaker and spent the better part of a decade designing and typesetting textbooks for Macmillan and other publishers, work where typographic judgment and getting the details right were critical.

Around 1993 a friend showed me something called a "website." I'd never heard the word before. I was immediately smitten by the web.

That was the beginning of a second career — building websites — that's now longer than the first one.

Have a project in mind?
