Ok, Bohemian Design is not so much "we" as it is "me" right now. My name is David Dols and I am (or was) a Computer Science student who had a change of heart after saying for a countless time "I could make a better web site than that" and was challenged to do so. The seed was planted.
      I have always been an artistic person throughout public school. People assumed I would grow up to be a graphic artist. Had things been different I probably would have. After high school I did not immediately go on to college but instead found a job building trade show displays. A semi-artistic career I thought, though it ended up being more an opportunity for me to develop the mechanical (left?) part of my brain. This led to a short lived career in motorcycle mechanics. It was several years before I finally went to college for Engineering, and touched a computer for the first time. I was hooked.
     During this time Randal was born, my first computer. A Pentium 90 I built in 1994 for doing computer aided drafting and to dabble with some graphic arts software. For a while both of those ventures were pushed aside while I played with the computer itself. Randal became an ongoing experiment. I would upgrade, reconfigure, and like everything else I got my hands on, try to make him better and faster. Very soon the Engineering major was switched to a Computer Science major, but I still wasn't quite happy.
      Soon after I acquired Randal I was online. The Internet and the ideas behind it intrigued me. I wanted to be a part of it. Online I could research anything my heart desired, when I wanted, from the comfort of my home. A dream come true. My first web browser was Mosaic, soon replaced by the then "new" Netscape Navigator version 1.1, my first download.
      It was after studying graphical user interface design that I began to understand why some web sites seemed so much better than others. I then understood the rules for creating a site that was intuitively navigated, and how I could artistically push the envelope of those rules to create innovative approaches to web design. GUI design was soon followed by Photoshop, HTML and Typography classes to bring this understanding into practice. Java, JavaScript, Perl, Database development and Marketing are the classes currently being pursued. This is a great time and a difficult time to be getting into this field as few if no accredited degrees are currently offered. I feel like a pioneer, and the excitement of the prospects is wonderful. I look forward to being an integral part of the future development of the web. What a wonderful time to be alive.
