Andy Budd (edit name/settings)

Andy Budd is a user experience designer and web standards developer
living and working in Brighton, England. As the creative director of web
design consultancy Clearleft (www.clearleft.com), Andy enjoys building
attractive, accessible, and standards-compliant websites. His online
home can be found at www.andybudd.com, where he writes about modern
web design practices.
Andy is a regular speaker at international design conferences, workshops,
and training events, and organized the UK’s first web 2.0 conference
(www.dconstruct.org). Passionate about the quality of education in the
industry, Andy runs SkillSwap (www.skillswap.org), a free community training and networking
project. Andy also helped set up the Web Standards Awards (www.webstandardsawards.com), a
project that aims to recognize websites for their use of web standards.
When he’s not building websites, Andy is a keen travel photographer. Never happier than
when he’s diving some remote tropical atoll, Andy is also a qualified PADI dive instructor and
retired shark wrangler.
