Tell us something about your background to introduce yourself.
I started making websites at the age of 12, when I found Microsoft Office 1998 cd and Microsoft Frontpage from it (yes lol). I didn’t know anything about making websites, but I got really interested in that thanks to Frontpage. I quickly found about HTML and CSS, when checking the sources of websites I made with Frontpage. I learned actually writing HTML & CSS that way. Then I found more programming languages like JavaScript, PHP and MySQL. I did design websites too while programming them.

This hobby turned into job, when I got my first real job (I worked at my dad’s company, which in my opinion is not a “real job”.. a job via family relations) at Activeark digital agency. It was like a dream coming true. I dreamed about getting into advertising and digital agencies. Activeark was a nice experience. After that I got to work at Finland’s most popular daily magazine Iltalehti, where I served as a web assistant. It was also kind of a dream getting there. After 2 years I found myself from advertising and consult agencies. In 2010 I launched my own company to help freelancing career. Today I work as a freelancer and at my dad’s company.

I served as a journalist for several electronic sports (eSports) based video gaming communities too. I enjoyed playing games and writing about them. And writing in general speaking. I wrote about 950 news, which received about 2,5 million views.

Where from do you get your inspiration?
Inspiration comes from sites like Behance, Branding Served, Awwwards, The FWA, CSSLine, NOTCOT, Pinterest, Twitter and Pantone Canvas. I like to follow architecture and interior design too to get inspiration. For that I follow ArchDaily, Archizer and Freshome.

Not to mention advertisemenets in real life (bus stops etc.) and TV spots. Checking companie’s logos and graphical elements.

Do you use a sketchbook for your drafts?
Sometimes, but I prefer using mind.

What is your favored machine (Mac/PC)?
PC, which I have built by myself.

What new projects are you currently working on?
At the moment I have no projects going on

The subject of 6th edition of Lodz Design Festival was AWARENESS. It highlights the importance of the awareness in design, in addition to the usefulness and aesthetic value.

Our idea was to show the conscious and thinking being. We’ve presented chimpanzee – he symbolize the essence of thinking, afterthoughts and reflection about the reality and changes. Symbol of awareness and reflection is neon pink stain of paint (spot) at his forehead.

The portfolio of Jordan Sparrow, a designer from Chicago, IL.

The idea of the site was to create a navigation that relied heavily on white space instead of graphic elements. The user can scroll, and realize the separation of sections by white space alone. The process started with the background video, which was drawn, cut, hung, and shot in a makeshift photography studio set up in my kitchen. From there, icons and other assets were drawn up and developed digitally, then the layout began.

My portfolio was kind of a lifetime project as I had designed many layouts previously for my portfolio, but this made it online. About the structure, the idea was to forget typical 960px grids and make it fully responsive. From mobile phones to bigger monitors. The design is pretty simple. My focus is into simplicity, which I am trying to “sell”. The site has minimal HTML5 functions like on Works site.
