Creative Director at Íshús Media ehf.
Iceland
Since 1998 I have worked professionally with the building of company websites and their corporate images. Already from the very start I focused on user interaction and experience and was hired to build UI for intranets used by large worldwide corporations. During this time I expanded my programming skills and have kept these alive and evolving through many great projects over time. I have learned to realize that this is a unique combination to both be able to have the feel for graphics and their uses while also knowing programming in various languages. A goal is to keep up understanding the technology evolution that regards interactive communication and by this way leading research and development for business purposes.
Graphical specialities include:
- logo design & corporate id
- design & layout ready for pre-press (visual id, booklets, folders, etc.)
- flash presentations
Programming skills include:
- HTML (1998), DHTML (2000), XHTML (2005)
- CSS (2002)
- XML (2001)
- Javascript (1999)
- Actionscript/Flash (1998)
- ASP (2001), PHP (2003), SQL (2001)
- C++ (2003)
- JAVA (2005)
