Experience and Clients
Upon completing my degree in, errr, crikey - 2002, I worked for 2 years as a full time Web Designer for a small but ambitious Web Design and Development Company, whilst also doing a bit of freelance stuff as well.
I went 'full-on' freelance early 2005 - specialising in Web Standards based Creative Web Design, Graphic Design, Illustration and Animation ...
My clients do include some 'biggies', such as Sony, Warner Music, RadissonSAS Hotels, Dixons, Defra, WDMP and Merit Golf, but I do have a diverse - what's the phrase? Oh yeah - "client base". I have also produced work for many respected and leading agencies / groups / collectives etc. both in the UK and internationally.
I currently work very closely alongside the ViewCreativeAgency, in a sub-contract capacity fulfilling a web design and development role. Clients I deal with include the likes of IMG International, TPNW and the Nelsons Group.
Oh, and by the way : I am also an author for Bite Size Standards.
My Philosophy
Having trained to both Diploma and Degree standard in the Graphic Arts, and with 6 years experience in the industry, I am passionate about what I do.
There are many design outfits out there that operate having had no, or very little, design training at all - and it often shows in the work they produce.
I work tirelessly to ensure all my work is resolved and considered in every way, as I believe in high standards. This way of applying myself not only satisfies my own creative needs but, more importantly ensures that you, the client, receive quality and a service that will aid long term success and prosperity.
Right, now I've got that off my chest, I think I'll have a warm chocolate drink and a Hob-Nob or five.
