As some of you may know, I recently left my government job for an opportunity to work for the Sunlight Foundation, a non-profit here in Washington, DC. The Sunlight Foundation works to promote transparency in the government, and the Sunlight Labs group, in which I work specifically, focuses on making government data more interesting and accessible through APIs and web apps exposing the data in unique and insightful ways.
I find that I get most of my inspiration from things around me. I love CSS galleries and seeing all the amazing things other people around the world are doing, but I find that when I am just looking at and being inspired by web sites, all I can think of are elements that other people have created. So I just wanted to share ten things that have inspired me that are at least somewhat non-web related. Some are new, some are old, but all are things that I think are amazing.
Welcome to the third version of my site, the cleverly named, alifelski.com. Finally, after years of having disposable sites I am tapping into my eco-friendly side and making a site that down the road I will be able to, as Cameron Moll said, realign instead of redesign.
While walking through the amazingness that is the Wegmas grocery store looking for something to clean my wood furniture I found an interesting looking mop. I feel like I am always in search of a decent mop especially since I have hardwood floors in my apartment.
I am a graphic designer who lives in Washington, DC.
I am also a neat freak, a mother of 2 (dogs), cog in the government machine, Michigander (troll), a bicycle pilot, and an aspiring pie entrepreneur.
