Ambient Design Ltd. Ambient Design is a New Zealand based software development company specialising in contract work for remote clients. The company was founded on a strong graphical basis after the founders left MetaCreations in January 2000, but has grown since then to encompass Internet development, cross platform development, and a wide range of technologies. Ambient was founded with the intention of creating a strong engineering company that would provide an output for some of the talent available in New Zealand. Over the last two years we have worked for a wide range of international companies providing complete engineering services from design to implementation.

Veerle's blog 2.0 I'm a graphic/web designer living in Belgium. My personal journal is an online source for topics ranging from XHTML/CSS to graphic design tips. I began my career in 1992 as a freelance graphic designer under the name of Duoh!. The first 3 years were mainly filled with print orientated work such as logos, stationary and brochures. From 1995 onward, designing websites and user interfaces for intranets together with multimedia development was my main focus. with cssdesigndesignerdigitalfreelancegraphichowtojournalonlinephotoshopprinttipstutorialwebby 14 users Note: Very impressive stuff.
