David Suriano's passion for user interface design began before the popularity of today's internet. In 1987 he discovered the world of 2400 bps modems and local Michigan BBSes. By 1989 he was customizing the ANSI art interface of his own multi-node BBS. David later obtained his Bachelor of Arts in Visual Communications from Collins College in Tempe, Arizona. He has successfully been self-employed as a designer for over seven years, working with a diverse range of clientele from start-ups to billion dollar corporations.
