For these interviews, we pick people who add value to our community &#8211; in the blog, in the forums, in the projects. Plainly &#8211; activities that make crowdSPRING a better community. Be professional, treat others with respect, help us build something very special, and we&#8217;ll take notice. We&#8217;re very proud to feature Edoardo Gioe (crowdSPRING username: kaythree) today. Edoardo lives and works in Palermo, Italy. 1. Please tell us about yourself. Hello! My name is Edoardo, I am twenty-two years old and I currently live in Palermo, a city that was founded over 2,700 years ago and that now represents the fifth most populated area in Italy. It&#8217;s a wonderful place of high contrasts where opposites dance together in the strangest, daunting way. Even though I was born here,\u00a0 I spent part of my childhood in Sydney, where I was first introduced to computers at the age of six. I developed a passion for graphic design during my adolescence and &#8211; please don&#8217;t tell anyone &#8211; I collect videogames. As a matter of fact, I actually learned the basics of Photoshop while working on a user-generated modification for a (once) popular game. I&#8217;d say my life has progressed on a rather bumpy road which ultimately led me to fall in love with this profession. I currently plan to move and perhaps find a home elsewhere in the world. 2. You&#8217;ve previously worked in the advertising industry but now work mainly online. Why did you decided to make that switch? Well, a number of factors ultimately influenced this decision. While I was offered a few jobs in my hometown, none of the jobs offered me the opportunity to work on such a variety of projects as that offered by the crowdSPRING marketplace. After I took a few jobs from a couple of clients here in Palermo, I did some quick math and figured that I could not only find more interesting work online, I could also make more money out of it. Also, bringing my business online didn&#8217;t mean I had to completely ignore everything in the city\u00a0 &#8211; I still do design work for an advertising agency and a couple of other clients on a monthly basis."}
