Employment Status: Employed, but willing to discuss freelance projects.

Key Design Aims: Fresh, Functional, Different, Memorable and Resourceful.

Software Knowledge: Adobe Creative Suite 3, Aptana Studio, etc.

Currently Learning: Mootools Javascript library and further web/design dev.

Commercial Experience: 3 years commercially and 1 year freelance.




To produce fresh and dynamic media that is refined, individual and exceed expectations. I personally believe in producing media which is created in the most appropriate format for the task at hand. I am actively researching new ways to design and present media, whilst sharpening my skills for applications I am familiar with. I never release media unless I am 100% happy with it, as I take personal pride in each and every piece I produce.



To continue developing my design skills and methods. With each new project I learn and design something new and fresh, and that drives me forward. It's a cycle I crave and hopefully one day I will design something that makes the globe stage.
