Peter Lada’s Summary

I am a web designer foremost and a developer second. I adore quality web design, both in terms of user interface as well as elegant code. I have been experimenting with the web for many years, continuously exploiting my passion for the intersection between technology and art.

Currently, I work as a developer at Cisco Systems in the services organization as well as freelance (when I can find time) out of my tiny design studio Proxima Labs.
