Carsonified

We are looking for a volunteer to help us out in the first week of May with our Future of Web Design conference videos. You don’t need to have any experience with video, as long as you can use a web browser and have a keen interest in web design then you are good to go.

Ideally (although not essential) you will be based locally to our office in Bath and available to work from our office on the 6th and 7th May. In return we will give you a free pass to the Future of Web Design conference on April 30th and the final leg of our FOWA Tour in Bristol on June 3rd.

If you are interested please email keir at carsonified dot com for further details. Thanks!

As I mentioned, we’re branching out and doing a bit of design and development work (thankfully we’ve got so much work we’re now turning people away). We’re launching one of our first projects next week, which I’m really excited about.
