I’ve been threatening to bore the web public with my opinions for some time now and today is that day.  I suppose you’ll want to know a little about the man behind the curtain so here goes.  My name is Aaron Deckler and I’m a design junkie.  The sort of person who obsesses over fine details and has a very hard time accepting anything less than right. I’ve been designing for a living for about 4+ years now and constantly strive to be as good at this as possible.  I consider myself a designer, first and foremost, but I also take pride in front-end development.  I reside in a killer little town called Austin Texas where just driving around taking in the scenery puts a smile on my face.  I’m into design of all kinds including furniture, architecture, graphic works and pretty much anything else that fits the description.  As you might imagine I’m also a bit of a music snob.  Leading up to my design career I owned a small record label, Circular Records, and a digital recording studio now called Lava Studios.  We produced primarily hip-hop with a side of trip-hop.  Doing album covers (poorly) was my foray into graphic design.  These days my playlists mostly consist of indie rock and downtempo but I still enjoy a proper hip-hop recording.

I’ve created this blog to offer some opinion on design, the web and other related topics but be prepared to see the occasional music/film/arts post - I do live in Austin after all.  I imagine I’ll be doing the majority of the writing around here but I’ll try to drag in industry experts, such as my buddy Mitch Wilson, and maybe some other local flavor as well.  So stay tuned.
