Jeffrey Zeldman

Jeffrey Zeldman is among the best-known web designers in the world. In 1998, he co-founded The Web Standards Project, a grassroots coalition of web designers and developers that helped end the Browser Wars and promote interoperable, accessible UX by persuading Microsoft and Netscape to support the same technology in their browsers. Jeffrey founded and publishes A List Apart (since 1998), the design magazine “for people who make websites;” co-founded An Event Apart front-end design conference (2005–2019); and has published over 50 titles — including “Responsive Web Design,” “Just Enough Research,” “Design For Real Life,” and “Design is a Job” — through A Book Apart, a small press he co-founded in 2010. His book, “Designing With Web Standards,” now in its 3rd Edition, has been translated into 15 languages and is considered a classic in the field. Jeffrey was a founding faculty member of the MFA Interaction Design program at School of Visual Arts, and is the founder emeritus and former creative director of Happy Cog, a digital design studio in NYC, where he lives with his daughter and two cats.
