Jeffrey Zeldman

JEFFREY ZELDMAN is the co-founder (with Eric Meyer) of An Event Apart, and the founder and executive creative director of Happy Cog™, a leading web design agency with studios in New York, Philadelphia, and San Francisco.

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

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

Jeffrey serves on the Advisory Boards of the SXSW Interactive Festival and Rosenfeld Media. More biographical information is available at Wikipedia, Happy Cog, Google, Amazon, A List Apart, and Ask.com.
