Who is twokidsinagarage / who are the two kids

twokidsinagarage was founded in the year of 1999 by two kids (yes, there indeed are two kids). The initial idea was to sell millions of icons for a buck a piece, organize an IPO and become rich overnight. But somewhere along the way the idea of having to spend the remainder of one's life traveling to different corners of the world for the sole purpose of visiting all those lofty apartments at least once a year, arguing over the colour of the sofa, demanding that the milk is being served at exactly the right temperature, quarreling over who should supervise the gardener this time, fining the staff for swearing, it all became so...well, 'Madonna'. After all we're just kids!
Instead we returned to the love and gratitude we received from our loyal customers and released our top downloads as shareware, or 'loveware' as we would call it by then. Ofcourse we had to dump that business model pretty damn soon since there was absolutely no business in it. Which is why instead we now sell our icon and font packages at reasonable prices, hoping that by the end of this year we will finally have just enough money to buy our favourite Fisher Price set.
Designing fonts and icons; it's a way of life!

Some facts:

- our hi and lo-res icon packages are the top downloads in their category at Palmgear and have been so for the past 4 years
- over 150.000 icon packages were downloaded worldwide
- our freeware font package is amongst the top download at Palmgear
- in October 2003 our book 'Mini icons' was released, the first ever book on PDA icons
- in April 2004 twokidsinagarage got a PR1 rating from Google for 'pixel icons'
- in 2007 twokidsinagarage will release their long awaited set of True Type pixel fonts for webdesigners

Being the first all the time got to be boring!

Guido: The first twokid

Guido is our CFO (Chief Font Officer) and in charge of keeping all our fonts in top condition and fontinally sane. He has a sixth sense for creating tiny fonts that look more like those dotted lines where you're supposed to sign. Prior to this role, he was found in a number of different positions in and about the house.

Next to his position as CFO he works as an independent ICT consultant and information architect for large governmental and commercial organisations.

Guido holds a Starbucks degree in Arabian Mocha Java.

Onno: The second twokid

Onno is our CIO (Chief Icon Officer) and has been holding this position for many years now. His top prio is to make sure that all the icons are clear and understandable, and at the same time stylish and userfriendly.

Previously Onno spent some fine years in a playpen where he supervised the livingroom. Next to his position as CIO he has his own Great Little Company and has worked as a publisher/product manager for internationally renowned publishing houses in the Netherlands.

Onno holds a Fisher Price degree in toddling.
