Steve Ivy’s Summary

I'm a skilled designer and visual thinker with over a decade of experience in graphic and web design, information design, content management systems, and web-based applications. I have a passion for communication and enabling technologies, demonstrated by a career-long interest in the visual design of content systems. I was a part of the initial blogging revolution, and continue to work in the area of content management whenever possible.

I am a strong support of the pragmatic use of web standards, semantic markup, microformats and open APIs as a way of building rich, usable web applications.
