She won, Rebekka won

It’s 2010, three years after I’ve created Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir’s website. When I go the job interviews or meet potential clients, I still mention this website as the best I’ve done. Quite honestly, take the photos out and it looks terrible. I sure know, since I’ve done it.

What makes it the best I’ve done is her photo and the context in which I did it. I was out to gain experience on the web. My knowledge was primitive. The only things I had on my side was my will to move forward and Rebekka, otherwise she’d never let me do it.

Anyway, as a web designer, I had to write a little about her website. However, this post really is about her, because she won the People’s Choice Award in The Power of Self competition. Actually, she tied with Hilary McHone. That means, for each of them, $1000 in cash, a reception in New York City and international publicity.

At this point, you should just go admire Rebekka’s work on her website.
