Biography

When Jesse was very young he was told that because he had no earlobes, he would never be a good designer. He set out on a mission to prove his parents wrong. Jesse began his career designing t-shirts (using Photoshop and Illustrator).  In 1997 his boss asked him to create a company web page. After many late nights chugging Mtn Dew and coding HTML in Notepad, he realized he was hooked, and left the print world never to return. Luckily the Photoshop skills he had picked up crossed over to the web design world.

Today Jesse is the Sr. Web Designer at Access Development, where he also heads up Web Marketing. He runs his own multimedia firm on the side, and is the co-founder of www.tornadostream.com, a blog radio site. Jesse loves helping others learn and get excited about web design.

In his spare time, Jesse hangs out with his wife and 3 kids. He loves camping, hiking, training for and competing in triathlons and showing the world that even people without earlobes can design web pages. You can see his work at www.jesseharding.com.
