Shawn Adrian
Shawn Adrian is a designer, coder, and co-founder of QuoteRobot and Exching.
I'll never forget the weight of a Rolex on my wrist at 21, or the sting of being bankrupt at 25. It seems some lessons come hard and fast, while others are learned through years of study. Fortunately, I have a ferocious appetite for study and a curiousity that just won't quit.
As a designer my first language is pixels, but I write HTML, CSS, Javascript, and PHP with the same attention to detail I design with.
In 2010 I co-founded QuoteRobot, a tool that helps other web professionals to quote better and win more projects. That same year I built Exching for my wife, a marketplace for used fashion online. Nowadays I spend my time working on those apps, writing in my blog, tweeting, and developing new ideas for a few clients.
I love to share what I learn, so tune in to my Twitter, or read my blog if you're interested in building the web, working for yourself, design or code.
