Dave Shea

DAVE SHEA is the creator and cultivator of the highly influential website csszengarden.com, and co-author of The Zen of CSS Design (New Riders, 2005) with Molly Holzschlag.

By day he works on design projects of all types through Bright Creative, his one-man studio in Vancouver, Canada. He is fortunate to count among his clients New York University, Google, CNet, and Six Apart, among others. Recently he launched an icon family and the North American arm of a popular international conference series, Web Directions. He speaks internationally at conferences and workshops. You might have bumped into him at Webinale, @Media, SXSW, Carson Workshops, IceWeb, FITC, or maybe even at Web Directions North.

Also by day, and sometimes by night, he’s been known to blog at mezzoblue.com. When he manages to tear himself away from a screen, Dave’s lately been enjoying (in no particular order): cooking Mediterranean cuisine, iPhone hacking, exploring Los Angeles, Nintendo’s Wii, and sampling beer made by Trappist monks. (Wait, two of those things involve screens...)
