About Making the web a better place.

Before I go any further I should probably remind you that everything on this site is my opinion and not necessarily that of my employer. The topics on this blog usually center around design for the web, different from other design disciplines, but still sharing basic principles.

Here are some pointed stances I have regarding web design.

• Scrolling is not bad.
• Web design is not a skill, it’s a profession that requires certain skills.
• Constraints free you.
• Design is a process.

The Name

The name comes from two words that describe a lot about me. Design is an act I’ve always been fond of doing; and Intellection is the process of thinking and understanding, which I also like to do.

A Short History

The older content on the site was carried over from my previous site, The Design Canopy. I made the decision to move to Design Intellection about a year after I started The Design Canopy. Mainly I liked the name better, felt it was more fitting for where I wanted to take my online presence and it allowed me to broaden my topics-covered and refocus my writing style.

In Summary

Hopefully all that didn’t sound too pompous. In short, I’m passionate about an average number of things and web design is near the top. Collected on this blog are my thoughts concerning said passion and (usually) related items.
