Jeffrey Zeldman

He᾿s a man who needs no introduction, but we᾿ll introduce him anyway.

JEFFREY ZELDMAN is the founder and executive creative director of Happy Cog, and the co-founder (with Eric Meyer) of An Event Apart.

In 1995, the former art director and copywriter launched one of the first personal sites and began publishing web design tutorials. In 1998 he co-founded The Web Standards Project, a grassroots coalition that brought standards to our browsers. That same year he launched A List Apart “for people who make websites.”

He has written many articles and two books, notably the foundational web standards text Designing With Web Standards, now in its second edition.

Jeffrey speaks everywhere and sits on the Advisory Boards of the SXSW Interactive Festival, Rosenfeld Media, and the Dandelife Social Biography Network. He has a biographical listing in the Wikipedia Encyclopedia and is good for a quick hit at Google, Technorati, or Ask.com.
