    About Stuart Robertson

    Stuart RobertsonMy name is Stuart Robertson. I'm a web designer living in Ontario, Canada. Design Meme (pronounced 'meem') is my personal journal where I post news, information and tips for designers, developers, and independent media artists, as well as updates on the articles and scripts I've written.

    Before getting into web design, I worked as a videographer and video editor. I first started creating websites in 1996 for the Government of Canada. I launched Design Meme in early 2000 when I started working as the Website Manager for the University of Guelph. I continue to work and teach Web Design at the University of Guelph and University of Guelph-Humber in Toronto. I'm also available for freelance consulting, design and teaching.
