Maadmob is a small Australian freelance agency specialising in web strategy, design and training. Our services include 4 different streams:

consulting on web strategy
providing a wide range of design services (information architecture / interaction design / content design, not visual design!)
providing mentoring services to clients who need some extra confidence and structured learning
running public and in-house modular workshops on design skills (the only of its kind in Australia)

Maadmob is run by Donna (Maurer) Spencer, who has more than 8 years professional experience designing intranets, websites, web applications and business systems. Donna is a regular speaker at a wide range of local and international conferences.

Donna is based in Canberra, Australia, and available to work interstate and internationally (and locally of course).
