About

Basically, I was drip fed creativity all throughout my childhood by my very talented artist Brother and I’ve been bonkers about pixels since my ‘hand-me-down’ ZX spectrum. But here’s the unedited version.

After graduating in 2001 with a 1st in Car Design, stood in the rain in my cap and gown, I had a choice to make. Masters degree or pay back the student loan? So, I bid Car Design farewell and decided to get knee deep in Graphic and Web Design. See my work.

I haven’t looked back since (yeah right, doodling concept cars, and making them out of clay). The months turned into years, my skills improved and I eventually found myself providing my skills to companies and charities of all sizes, all over the world (including Audible, Hewlett Packard, Travel Lodge, Time Warner, 123-reg and Microsoft).  Check out the people I’ve worked for.

My chosen weapons of mass creation include: Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Flash, Expression Engine, XHTML, CSS, jQuery, 3D Studio Max, After Effects, Premier. The list goes on, and I am always getting my fingers on something new to keep up with the times.

When I’m not pushing pixels and tilting my head (I do this a lot), you might find me introducing the highlights of my youth to my Sons, mountain biking, watching some cult tv program or at the flicks.

I’m a friendly fellow. I don’t bite (except when the moon is full) and I can chat for ages about anything design and web related. So, if you just want to give me some feedback on my design work, or just want to say hello, why not get in touch. Also, check out my blog, which has more of my rantings.
