Welcome to My Web World

SoHappyNZ.com

This is the  My personal design blog.

There’s also a range of my web projects design.

I have a passion for all things creative, and as a designer myself, I know how handy online resources such as tutorials can be to sharpen and develop your design skill set.

In April 2008 I setup this site as a personal design related blog, originally to experiment with the WordPress application and to give myself a digitial playground to practice  and develop new techniques.

In September 2009 my blogging shenanigans had provided me with some great exposure as a designer, and generated a good base revenue that allowed me to leave my position as a designer at a local studio and begin my career as an independent designer.  I’ve seen a mass of opportunities through the increased exposure blogging has provided, such as inclusions in various high profile websites and publications, appearances in magazines and a position as a co-author of an exciting design related book.

In March 2010 I branched out with a online shopping website, named The Cheapest Glasses Frame.Com, where I continue my documentation of all things design, but this time with a solid focus on web design. Topics include showcases of popular trends, design and coding tutorials and a roundup of my favourite web designs each week.

Being someone who works at the Internet all day, I’m pretty active on various social websites. Feel free to stop by and email me: qijinz@hotmail.com
