About

Web design, digital illustration, creative design and artwork production.
I deliver creative, original and intelligent solutions to any brief. Simple.

I have considerable experience in all areas of design, including packaging, POS, advertising, exhibitions, literature and illustration. I have a good awareness of design, and possess excellent illustration, re-touching and typographic skills, together with extensive Macintosh hardware and software experience.

I take time and energy to create sites that are visually appealing. I believe a good web site must be beautiful, accessible and useful. I create beautiful projects that are practical and easy to use - from web development and design to e-commerce and interactive media; from stylish and effective website design to graphic design & digital illustration and artwork production.

I believe in delivering a quality service. I believe in being direct and open.
I believe in thinking things through. I believe in ideas. I believe in building relationships.
I believe in trust and in honesty.

I believe in listening.
