Designing for the web is truly where it's at. It's constantly changing and evolving in new and exciting ways. I love creating something beautiful that helps people tell their story.
My name is David Joyce. I was born and raised in East Tennessee. I developed an early appreciation for good design as I grew up using my father's Mac Plus. I developed an interest in designing for the web and pursued a technical degree. I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Information Technology from East Tennessee State University. ETSU was one of only three institutions in the US that was accredited by ABET in the Information Technology concentration in 2007.
I've committed myself to designing for the web while maintaining web standards as best as I know how. So I've had to supplement much of my education with independent research into how to design properly using the standards set forth by the World Wide Web Consortium. It involves more than simply checking a site off in a validator, it's the core of what the internet is all about!
I think web design is a truly a unique medium that presents special challenges, and special advantages as well. I'm very excited to be in this field, working with what I love.
