About
I'm a web designer and I love my job.
I run my own design studio called GNV & Partners. I've had the chance to design websites for Matt Mullenweg, GigaOM, Sphere, the NBA and a lot of other clients worldwide. Many of those sites have been featured in most CSS galleries.
Beside that I keep a personal blog at Jek2k.com.
Jek2k.com has been my personal playground since the very beginning in 1999.

One of these days I'm gonna customize this Virb page too...
