About Tony Stephens
This is the almost obligiatory section that talks about me. Don't expect much here, you won't be disappointed.
So who are you?
My name is Tony Stephens. I live in Northern Virginia (Fairfax), and work in Old Town Alexandria. My current title is that of a Senior UI Designer. Which isn't what I do. I do mainly web stuff, and most of the times focus on the interaction and/or design and/or development of systems. But I care mostly about that final presentation layer that the user interacts with. I also love to do informational graphics, and am a giant fan of Tufte's.
I've been doing web-related work since the mid 90's. I remember starting messing around with it seriously when version 1.0 of PageMill came out. I have since given up on WYSIWYG editors, and now live in code-view. I have a B.F.A. in Graphic Design, do some painting on the side. I've even sold some of my artwork. And yes, that does make me cool. I'm also color-blind. Which makes things interesting at points. And further adds to my coolness.
And this site... what gives?
I've been using the name Simian Design for my work since the mid 90's. I got the domain only a couple of years ago. I've had a personal site in one form or another since the mid 90's. I remember, almost fondly, using single pixel transparent GIFs to increase the leading of my paragraphs.
It's built using both hand-coding, PHP, and MoveableType. It's XHTML, CSS, etc.
