In issue#15 we speak with Daniel Burka, xpert Designer.
It’s great to be back in the swing of things for CreativeXpert!
Also great is to speak with Daniel about his design experience. We hear about the Hinterland-based silverorange, where Daniel made some skrilla for Mozilla, and Wine Wednesdays at digg.
More on Daniel:
Silverorange is a small web development shop based on the East Coast of Canada. Several of us formed the company back in 1999 by merging our previous little companies (Whitelands and Metamedia) together. We do a wide variety of work including full site development as well as UI consulting and development. Lately, we’ve done a bunch of work for clients like Digg, Mozilla, Ning, Idee, Revision3 and more traditional development projects for e-commerce clients across North America.
I’ve been doing web design since high school {pictured at left} in Canada when we formed silverorange and I’ve had a hand in just about every project silverorange has been a part of.
I started working with Digg through silverorange a year and half ago and that developed into a long-term ongoing relationship. Last spring Kevin convinced me to move to SF (he didn’t have to twist my arm too hard) and I came to work on more of a full-time basis with Digg with the blessing of the silverorange crew.
