Hi, my name is Ayush Saran…
I'm a web designer from Mumbai[India], currently living and working in San Diego, CA.
My primary areas of focus are web strategy & front-end design/markup, especially xHTML and CSS. But, I also enjoy programming with JavaScript & PhP. [I <3 jQuery]
When not working or drinking ketchup I enjoy painting, watching premier league soccer & listening to downtempo music
I work at digital-telepathy…
Im among the lucky few who found something they enjoyed, and were able to make a living doing it. Work is play and I follow my passions as part of the team at digital-telepathy, who were awarded Union Tribune's "Best places to work" award for 2007.
Before this I worked as a sub-contractor in the Web Industry. I have been making websites since I was 13 and a portfolio/resume is available on request.
I blog regularly at dedestruct…
