Freelance Web Designer

Gudmundur Bjarni Sigurðsson

Keflavík / Reykjavík

I have worked in the web industry as a designer for over 5 years now.

I have worked with internationally renowned clients like Ikea and DesigneTorget, as well as some of India´s, The Check Republic´s and Iceland´s biggest firms.

I have realized design, and especially web design is way more than making things look pretty. I often compare it to being a baker. The graphics design part of a web site is the cream on the cake, if no attention is payed to the cake itself you get an ugly and dysfunctional cake :)

I wish to deepen my understanding of this medium, that is the internet. Cause the future in web design looks very promising and exciting to me. Who knows what I will be designing and which tools I will be using to do it.

Heres wishing you wellness now.

    gummisig - Freelance Web Designer

    Started my freelance service in late 2008. It has been the most enjoyable career move I have ever made.

    I have had the great joy of working with clients from all over the world in a relatively short amount of time. You could say I hit the ground running when it came to my freelance carreer.

    Clients from Denmark, Austria, Usa (San Fransisco and New York) have all been great to work with.

    My enthusiasm for this work has also greatly increased while my design skills have also benefited enourmously from this shift. Not to mention my family life, my 3 children just love this change in our lives.

    Here´s hoping that you, reader see something in these words that inspires you. Maybe we can make something beautiful together.
