Yummy Wakame

How did it all start?

Yummy Wakame was born on the 16th of June 2002 and has grown from a little weblog and part-time hobby to a full-time freelance design business.

What is wakame?

Wakame is a very tasty seaweed. It is often used in soups such as miso soup or in sunomono salads. Wakame is usually sold in dried form, and then soaked in water. I like it in thai food. Wakame is full of protein, calcium, iodine, magnesium, iron and folate, so it's really good for you!

Who am I?

Olivia, a 31 year old South African from Cape Town, and currently living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania... although I can sometimes be spotted in Brighton by the lovely English seaside.

I was born into a family of designers, artists and musicians, so despite starting off as a programmer, it was inevitable that I'd end up doing something creative.

I have over 7 years commercial- and agency experience designing and producing websites while focussing particularly on website usability. My skills include Photoshop, Macromedia Flash & Studio MX, meticulous (X)HTML and CSS hand-coding, AAA Accessible design- and code. I have a passion for making sites accessible and adhering to the strictest web standards. I have designed and produced front-ends for a number of content management systems and the sites they in turn produce, and have front-end ASP and PHP skills.

Apart from site design I also create screensavers, CD-ROM presentations and can write amazingly friendly and attractive website user manuals.
