My name is Daniele Ricci, I'm 33, I live in Genoa, Italy, where I'm currently working as WebDesigner & WebMaster. I started in Web Design in January 2000 and I have learned the Principles of Web Design working for a WebAgency. Since 2001 I've my own individual company, manladan Design. My target customers are Artisans and small and mediums companies.
My vision is to make my mark on the Internet by putting a truly consistent level of excellence in web site design. Since 2002 I work on a mac because I was tired of crashes and virus; I spent a lot of time protecting my work on pc with antivirus updates and deleting suspicious mails. Now I can work untroubled. Working on Mac OS X is really amazing and I work much faster. I can reliably open and work among all the apps at once, with no pain and no crashes. My productivity is increased so now I'm able to work phenomenally.

My passions: the Internet and its possibilities, mac, sports, videomaking, photo, Ancient Egypt, astronomy and alchemy.

Portable Workflow
A Canon Powershot S30 and 550 megahertz Titanium PowerBook, that’s all I need. I can be anywhere, shoot pictures for my clients, transfer them to my computer, and watch them with my clients in order to choose the best pics to insert. With Powershot S30 I can make short video and quickly edit them on my computer. At the same time, with the Titanium PowerBook, I can burn a backup of my work. Digital technology helps me a lot, can you imagine being in a field with 500 slides? But now we put them on a CD, with immediate searchability. Double-click an icon in Photoshop or Fireworks and you have a full high-res image ready for separation in five minutes.
