And now a little Q & A to get to know me…

Why did you get into web design?

I’ve always been into doing computer graphics as long as I can remember, going back to playing around with KidPix when I was little. One day in High School I came across this software called Freeway on the Mac. Eventually I figured out that it was a WYSIWYG web design tool and that began my tumble later into learning HTML and CSS.

Dogs or cats?

Dogs, please. Have you ever seen someone teach tricks to a cat or take it on a walk?

Are you for hire?

Name an inspiration.

Merlin Mann. Not really a designer, but what he writes and talks about is inspiring.

What Would Google Do? by Jeff Jarvis.

I’d rather be ______ing.

Hiking

Favorite airplane.

Oooo… I love the design of a lot Air Force planes from the 50s and 60s becuase they were really pushing the limit of aircraft design, almost scifi looking.

The best thing Scott ever ate was…

I’m not really sure, what I’ll tell you what it isn’t: this pizza I had at a German public school. Yeah, pizza is definitely not German cuisine, I’ll just say that.
