Who the hell is Chris Erwin?

I'm a web designer/developer in Toronto, Canada. Originally from the small farming town of Athens, Ontario, I developed a strong interest in computers and the Internet during my last few years in high school. I studied Multimedia Design at Durham College and graduated at the top of my class.

Shortly after graduating I started a small web development company, Thirdcircle, where we developed websites for small businesses and started several online properties. After several tough years, I decided it was time to move on to bigger and better things and became an “interface engineer” at Organic Inc where I worked on the Dodge, Jeep, and Chrysler websites.

I'm now a very proud member of the extremely talented team at teehan+lax, a leading user experience design agency in Toronto. An advocate of web standards I spend most of my time working with front-end technologies like HTML, CSS and JavaScript, while maintaining an interest in sever-side technologies like PHP and MySQL.
