A brief bio about how graphic web designing started for me:
A few years ago, on January 28th, 2002, I obtained a book containing tutorials for Microsoft FrontPage. The very next day, I had a website up. It was small, beginnerish-looking, had barely anything on it, and I wasn't even sure what I was going to do with it, to be honest. I just enjoy playing around with coding and graphics. My graphic web designing just kind of snowballed from there. Throughout the years, my talents in website making has greatly improved. Now, I'm working on many different websites; some for various clients and some of my own.
