About Libertad Design

Libertad was born way after the dot com boom (2008) and now shares the inter-web space with roughly 6,845,609,960 other online users. The name was inspired after a 12 month Mexico / South America  surf trip, which was the catalyst for self exploration, finding my true passions and ultimately going creative and reaching the world online.

If you cant get a user’s attention in 10 seconds, he’s gone. So its important to stand out from the rest of the crowd and provide fresh and relevant designs & content. It is my passion to provide code and design for the web, crafting interfaces with an emphasis on usability and straight-forward and sexy visual communication.

Kapish.

But enough about that, actions speak louder than words and visual stimulation is the name of the game so take a look at some of my videos & photos below to get a better feel for what Libertad is about.

Although I do not travel as often as I would like to, I do love the open road and most enjoy shooting photos and video when on a mission somewhere and the opportunity to capture that brilliant moment in time presents itself.

I am currently armed with a Canon Ixus 100IS, 12.1 Mega Pixel, but will hopefully be upgrading to something a little more solid soon.
