Work history
Before switching to graphic design, I worked for many years in IT, mostly fixing computer problems (including for a few years running a business called Dial a Nerd), but I also did some programming and a bit of web development.
After escaping the IT industry in 2005, I took up writing for a website in the US, Apple Matters.
Nowadays I am freelancing as a graphic designer and web designer/developer.
