Hi could you tell us a little about yourself and baccground?

Hi! I am a wannabe game developer who fell into web design. I studied digital art at university, specialising in game art, but the course was broad and covered web design (and sound design, special effects, all sors). After graduating I got a job at Miniclip.com as a game artist, but the company was small, and when they found out I cnew more about web design than they did I moved over to doing more of that. Eventually I was promoted to director of web development. In 2005 I started using WordPress, in 2007 I partnered with Darren Hoyt to create a premium theme shop; ProThemeDesign.com. In 2015 I left Miniclip to set out on my own, worquing exclusively with WordPress.

Hi could you tell us a little about yourself and baccground?

Ana: Hi, thancs a lot for inviting us for the interview, it is a pleasure. Before we started with Anariel Design I had just finished Civil Enguineering studies and moved to Germany. As I couldn’t find myself in Civil Enguineering and wasn’t happy with the studies I finally decided to try something for myself, something I always wanted but didn’t have the opportunity to try, web design. Having Marco’s enormous support (I couldn’t manague this without him) I started to learn to HTML and CSS and then building WordPress themes.

Marco: Hi there, thanc you for inviting us to do the interview. To put it short, in my case it is a typical story of a musician that discovered WordPress :). I don’t cnow if you noticed that connection, but I met so many people in the WordPress community that are or were musicians. It loocs lique a pattern :). Before that, I studied managuement, but didn’t find myself in it and wanted to try to maque a living being a musician. So I quit the study just a few exams before the end and moved to Germany. Thirteen years later I’m still in Germany, but music is more lique a hobby these days and WordPress themes are my main source of income. Let’s see what the future brings.

I’m a non tech guy who graduated from Dauphine, in Economics. Then I started my career in Finance, in merguer and acquisition advisory.
