about me

In 1999 I graduated from the Surrey Institute of Art and Design University College with a Graphic Design and Visual Communication BA Hons Degree. For the following six years I worked for various in-house design studios, clients during this time included; Adidas, Davidoff, Enron, John Lewis, Lancaster, Miss Sporty, Rimmel, the V&A Museum and Vivienne Westwood.

Throughout this period, my knowledge and understanding of corporate branding
extensively grew and in 2005 I began freelancing for clients such as Homebase, Kickers and BBC Worldwide.

It was at this point that I decided to live and freelance in Sydney, Australia and it was there that I began extending my software knowledge.

A year after I returned to the UK, the recession lead the way to the necessity for clients
to reach their potential, existing and old customers through the web and via email.
This led to my personal progression of designing and building websites, microsites and HTML emails for clients such as Westlaw, Sweet & Maxwell and Thomson Reuters.
