Web Strategist and Designer at darrylDesign Sweden
Göteborg Area, Sweden
I spent the first 4 years of my career, after qualifying as a Graphic Designer (1995), in a design agency, followed by 5 years in IT & Web in a corporate environment and then in 2005 I started darrylDesign in Cape Town, South Africa. In 2007 I moved to Gothenburg and started darrylDesign here, working as a web strategist and web designer.
I found that there's a gap in the market, where the client (the person who owns or manages a website) meets the web agency (the people who build websites), and often do not speak the same language. I've worked as a client in my 5 years spent with Old Mutual (www.oldmutual.com), and understand what the client wants, and I have also before and after Old Mutual worked with clients. I can help translate what clients want into requirements agencies can understand and vise versa.
