Hi. I'm Taimi Soome - designer, web geek, and shopoholic.

I'm currently freelancing my design/web/flash skills at some fantastic studios around Melbourne as well as squeezing in some other small freelance projects in the little time I have spare.

I am passionate about web design, about keeping up to date with what's happening in web, and about learning everything I possibly can that will help me be a better designer.

It all began so long ago with a photography degree, during which I took a class to design my very own, very basic and very embarrassing folio website - this is where my interest in web design started. I decided to move away from photography and instead focus on web design. By taking on freelance web and print design projects, I taught myself how.
My passion for design and quest for knowlegde has brought me to where I am today.
