About my work
I am a webdeveloper and accessibility expert, currently residing in Bangkok, Thailand. Since I began designing websites in 1998 during my study, this site was used as my showcase and portfolio. I started as hobbyist and developed through this period to a full time designer.
Primarily my work consists of creating websites and helping clients to make theirs accessible. This includes graphic design, coding HTML & CSS compliant to W3C standards for accessible websites.
Secondly, daily changing requirements in my jobs offered me a variety of different assignments. They have been designing logos & corporate identities, programming webbased applications, creating brochures and print materials, teaching students in webdesign & accessibility, research and developing accessible teaching techniques,...

In the past my clients have been national government departments, local councils and private companies. I've also worked for non-profit organisations, online communities and in the educational sector lecturing and tutoring for a Viennese IT Academy.
This site serves you up a taste of my work, experiences and experiments. Explore and enjoy!

Philosophy
Most websites are full with features no one need or can use. Overloaded design and functions which dont work properly in most browsers. My attitude is to keep it simple, keep it straight and keep it surprising. This makes the message to your costumers accesible, useable and profitable.
Life besides work
When I am not working I enjoy a good movie, listen music, read books and hang around with my friends. For my physical health I go to the gym and enjoy swimming. In April 2004 I started learning Shaolin Qi Gong & Gong Fu, before that I practiced Yoga.
In summer 2008 I started painting with acrylics.
