Konnichiwa! That’s Hello in Japanese!
My name is Jaffar Khorshidi and I am a Web Designer & Information Architect based in Manchester, UK.
Welcome to my personal space on the Interwebs and a visual documentary showcasing my selected works.
I started self-taught design in 2002 and have continually practiced methods to the present day. I have since had experience with numerous clients, ranging from local governments, musicians, small businesses and large organisations, all with the goal of providing work to the best of my standards, targeted towards their respective audiences.
I have intense enthusiasm and passion for my work and believe in creating something that is more than simply the sum of its parts. I believe that great creative work comes from great relationships.
Looking forward, I hope to further combine my knowledge of the Internet and my qualifications, to further the causes of wherever I find myself working — whether it would be for myself or an established company. I am very thankful for all the experiences I have had, and am looking forward to what life has in store for me. I love learning and I hope to continually learn and improve in the years to come.
Web Technology Proficiency
Taking over the Internet, one site at a time
You can find the part of me that Mark Zuckerberg owns on Facebook, random status updates in 140 chars. or less on , my professional profile on LinkedIn, photos I've taken on Flickr, sneak peeks of what I'm working on via Dribbble & snaps, questions and links shared on Forrst.
