About Me

Smiley Cat Web Design is the online home of Christian Watson. Christian lives with his family in Austin, Texas.

For his day job he runs the web side of things for True Games Interactive, a publisher of free fantasy action MMORPGs such as Warrior Epic.

Previously he managed the web team for NCsoft West, the North American arm of NCsoft — a well known developer and publisher of MMORPGs.

When he first arrived in Austin he worked as a web strategist for Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).

In the evenings Christian tries to keep up on his blog, stay current in both the web and MMO industries, while still engaging in the appropriate level of adoration for his lovely wife, entertaining his two kids, and keeping up his Xbox Gamerscore.

Before moving to Austin from Seattle, Christian was the Web Services Manager for Seattle Children's Hospital where he managed the web team for 4½ years. He was and still remains in awe of the doctors and nurses there and the amazing things they do for kids.

Prior to joining Children's, Christian worked as a management consultant for Kurt Salmon Associates on projects for large retail clients. It was during this time that he was introduced to the world of e-commerce and he was immediately hooked.

After leaving KSA, Christian got more heavily into web design and freelanced for a year or so before realizing that the offer of a regular salary and work hours was a pretty tempting one.

Oh, and did I mention he is English and that he enjoys the delicious, tangy taste of Marmite and doesn't feel right without a brief mid-morning refuel for some elevenses?
