Why I do it

I love it!

I know that’s not really much of an answer. So here’s a better one. I like creating things, solving problems and working with people. Design provides a venue for all of that with the added bonus of making this world a better place. So why do I do it? Because I can’t think of a better way to spend my day.

Who I am

Howdy,

I’m Mike Freeman, a humble designer working in my home town, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. During the day I act as a freelance web/graphic design consultant. I am also a proud member of the Zeebu Mobile team.

As a firm believer in using design to affect positive change, I’ve finally found a home, with Zeebu.
