Lee Munroe
Who’s Lee?
A freelance web designer from Belfast.
Do you have a Brand?
I am my brand. Decided to go the route of branding myself rather than a company.
How do you choose the idea and the colors in any new project?
Varies. Inspiration based on other designs. Inspiration from what the project is about. Or it might so happen that I’m reading a good design book and see something I like and want to use in my next design.
What does your typical day look like?
I usually hit the gym in the morning for a fresh start. I’m self employed but I share an office which gets me out of the apartment and forces me to interact with people that aren’t online. I’ll probably spend around 12 hours on the laptop (Macbook Pro) working on client work, personal projects, communicating, reading etc. Nights consist of Xbox and poker with mates or out and about with the lady.
What are the tools you couldn’t live without?
Macbook Pro – I am now dependent on it.
What do you do in your free time?
Loving Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 on the Xbox 360 at the mo.
Current favorite apps?
Things, LittleSnapper.
What OSs do you prefer?
Mac OSX.
Small pic for your Wokrplace?
Favorite: Colors, Font, Languages (PHP, Ruby), JS Framework?
I do use orange a lot. Liking Hoeffler right now (but font preference changes all the time), fan of RoR and JQuery.
The things or source that inspired you?
Simple usable things.
What’s do you prefer, the freelance work or the full time employee?
Freelance (although never been employed).
