ABOUT ME

My name is Emma Young I was born in Otago, New Zealand, where I grew up just outside of Dunedin, with one older brother, Mum and Dad, as well as a menagerie of different family pets over the years.

In 2002 I graduated from Otago University with a Bachelor of Arts with a Double Major in Design Studies and Art History and Theory. In my first year out of University I worked in a camera store processing films, printing and digitally restoring damaged photographs, which is what got started me into photography.

After that I moved to Auckland where I worked in the following industries, custom garment manufacturing, publishing, and promotional merchandise. Each of these positions used my design software skills in different ways so I developed a broad skill set. Although the problem with this is I often have no idea what my next position will be.

After a four month travel interlude to South America I am currently living in London creating HTML emails for a recruitment website, which is the reason I have built www.visualperspective.co.nz. Coding HTML for emails is a little bit different than coding for websites, so basically this website is a practise exercise for me to learn a about CSS, a little bit of JavaScript, and I have also used a PHP email script.

What is next for me, the area of User Experience for websites is of particular interest, so I am working on developing my online skills such as Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), which I have just finished some study in. Of course there is always more to learn when it comes to web technologies, and I am still doing some behind the scenes work on this website cleaning up certain parts of the code.
