cre8d design

It’s long overdue! I have been so busy with designing other people’s sites that I just haven’t had the time to dedicate to working on my own. With a new year approaching rapidly, I finally have got my act together and am working on a redesign here. Oddly, redesigning my own site is more difficult than designing for others – partially because the choices are wide open: no list of client requirements can be more of a hindrance; and partially because I want the site to be completely fantastic and not something I’ll want to re-do again in a few months’ time. Plus, if I wait until I’m perfectly happy with the site, I’ll never get anywhere, so I’ll be aiming to have this up before Christmas.

I’ve selected a lovely font from village, chosen some fresh new colours and am working on page layouts and content right now.

More on the redesign soon!

I’m proud to announce that my brother Stephen is now working with me and doing a fantastic job coding in WordPress and Drupal. He recently was part of a team that won a bronze medal in Japan at the ACM-ICPC programming competition and has recently completed his degree in computer science and mathematics at Auckland University. It was about time I had someone else to help me which leads me to my second announcement…

I’m also very excited to announce that I’m pregnant! The baby is due in October and things are going well. Thankfully no sickness ever but I am needing an awful lot of sleep (I feel like a hibernating bear at times) and get tired incredibly easily. Will keep you updated.
