What is Supercharged?
Supercharged is the personal portfolio and web site of designer Darren Ansley. I currently work as the Senior Designer for Whiteboard Labs designing web sites, user interfaces, and custom web applications.
I am originally from southern Louisiana, and a proud graduate of The University of Louisiana at Lafayette. I now live in The Woodlands, Texas, with my wife, son and daughter.
Experience
Over the years I have worked in various areas of design starting out with good old fashioned amberlith, x-acto knives and a stat camera. It wasn't long before I moved onto more sophisticated environments in print, web and multimedia.
The work featured here reflects a simple, clean and well thought out approach I take when designing, regardless of the medium. The projects in the folio section are from the various positions that I have held, including my current one, and any freelance projects.
Definitely not work related
I rather like cycling and hiking, but I really prefer mountain biking and backpacking. I also enjoy the many rewards of home-brewing my own beer, and when it's not too bad, sharing it with others.
Underneath the hood
All of the CSS and XHTML has been patiently hand-coded, as well as the simple PHP templates that power most of the site.
The blog is the only section of the site utilizing a content management software and is currently running on WordPress.
Typography
The typefaces used on this site are powered by the wonderful service, Typkeit. It just might be the easiest way to use real type on the web.
