Professional Web Designers

[cs5]

I have a school project (career report) and was wondering if I could get a quick 5 min. interview with a pro web designer. If you feel more comfortable with email, that is okay, because my teacher requires your real name.

Well, define PRO. Most people here are probably self taught.

Someone who does it for a living (career) and makes money.

Instead of getting on forums, where you have no idea if the answers you're getting are legit, why not just do the leg work and get a local designer to do an interview. It'll double as face time with someone in the industry, and won't come off as lazy.
