My name is David Laakso. I am a freelance website designer. I offer custom website design and front-end development. I build fast, lean, effective (X) HTML / CSS websites that meet “Web Standards.” No smoke, mirrors, bells, or whistles hereabout. Just creative and elegant solutions: on-target; on-time; on-budget.
Extensive experience in print media, including art direction, graphic design, illustration, and advertising. In recent years, it has been my pleasure to work exclusively in the communication arts for the Web.
Contributing member of CSS-Discuss, WebDesign–L, and the Web Standards Group mailing lists.
Taught at Syracuse University, The Art Institute of Boston, and Cape Cod Community College.
Graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (BFA); and Syracuse University (MFA).
In another life, I am a painter and sometimes sculptor.
