About me

Ian Beck My name is Ian Beck, and I am a writer, designer, and developer. I am primarily interested in fiction, original web content, and Mac OS X software and have been participating in these topics on the web since 1998. If you enjoy these topics, too, you may like my personal blog, Beckism.com.

I am currently employed full time, so I’m very selective about what freelance work I accept. If you are interested in my services you can always feel free to contact me, though.

I work from home, which is located a stone’s throw away from the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington. If you’re in town, give me a holler.
