…Within Any Creative Field Is The Ability To Play
It’s really that simple!
So play, play, play and have as much fun as you possible can!
Childhood memories, loves and nature inspires me!
From where do you get your daily dose of inspiration?
My Playgrounds
I would like developers to learn design, and designers to learn development. In other design related professions such as architecture, fashion design, interior design and industrial design the designer is required to hold a certain level of understanding for the production phase. This is not a requirement today for web designers. If they don’t understand the whole process, it will be very hard to make sound decisions.
The same goes for the distinction between a front end developer and a back end developer. This distinction is a problem if they don’t work closely together. Web development is much more expensive than it has to be, and that is a problem for society at large.  The day it becomes too hard or expensive, it becomes a accessibility problem. ÂÂ
Of course we should get our hours paid, but I can’t stand the fact that lots of time gets spoiled just because of poor management and collaboration techniques.ÂÂ
How do you collaborate and make the gaps between production and design smaller?

Today when a client asks me to build a web site containing:
my advice to them is always the same.
“You don’t need to. Let’s use what’s already out there”
Our roles as web developers/ web strategists is shifting within this new era when most of the base functionality such as blogs, social networks, calenders, project collaboration and even video editors are actually available for free already! In this vast space of terabytes there is more then enough apps to meet the customers need. Why reinvent the wheel?
Most of the traffic/market/people/users are already on Facebook for example. How do we reach them through that specific channel? Within Facebook there are room for groups, events, messages and even community based games. It’s perfect!
So, insted of forcing the users to join yet another social network / sign up for a campaign, let’s make it easy for them. That should be our main goal, I think. To make it easy for the user.
ps. If any customer feels targeted by this, don’t. I get requests like these all the time, and there is nothing wrong with it. It’s just up to us web // whatever (we’ve got LOTS of different titles, but mostly we are the same) to get you on the right track. It’s our responsibility as experts to lead the field and to make the best out of your initial idea.
