Suggest a Slice

10 comments

I'm off to New York in thirty minutes but I managed to get our latest "Slice of the Month" done on the silverorange website before I go. Each month there's a bit of a debate in the silverorange offices over who we'll feature. Each slice is someone we all admire or someone who makes us laugh. As we add more and more people to the list, it's becoming more difficult to come up with new ones. So, give me your suggestions. Who would you most like to see¹ as a slice of the month?

¹ Note: Just because you suggest something, don't expect to see it right away. We reserve the right to be picky, choosy, and snooty. Thanks for your help.

Daniel Burka

My name is Daniel Burka. I'm a web designer living in San Francisco. Currently, I'm one of the founders of Milk Inc.. For several years I was the creative director at Digg and previous to Milk, I was the director of design at Tiny Speck. I grew up in PEI, Canada, where I was one of the founders of silverorange. Aside from obsessing about interface design and css selectors, I'm a frequently-falling rock climber, a lazy cyclist, and an often out-of-bounds disc golfer.

Summary

I'm a web designer living in San Francisco, California. I sometimes get the chance to present lectures and workshops at conferences around the world, where I speak about iterative design strategies, designing for large online communities, and more broadly about interface design for web applications. I've posted many of the slides from past presentations I've done on Slideshare.

Currently, I'm the director of design at a small gaming startup called Tiny Speck. Until October 2009, I was the creative director at Digg. I was also one of the co-founders of the social content-sharing site Pownce, which is now a part (heh heh) of Six Apart. Back in 1999, I helped found silverorange, a stellar web development and design firm based in Prince Edward Island, Canada. I continue to work with silverorange, but as an inactive partner.
