About me
I am a Freelance Digital Designer and Creative Consultant who loves design. I really love my job, I love bears, motorbikes and holidays - I really dont like spiders, ignorant people and fish.
My work involves a lot of creative thinking, sketching on notepads and napkins, then performing some creative magic on my computer to turn ideas into professional, perfectly designed, creative and visually eye-catching results. My ethics lie in traditional design and photographic methods, though I use the very latest cameras, equipment, software and techniques to create my digital media.
I find being a creative designer to be a very rewarding job in every way. I work closely with some excellent creative minds and award winning professionals, each being tightly involved within their chosen design, video and photographic industries. This gives me a very wealthy resource of professional knowledge for additional consultation on high level or specialist projects.

Experience vs. Expertise - Why not have both?

Challenging projects...

After some years in freelancing, I began look at pushing my knowledge and experience further, I spotted an amazing opportunity which fulfilled everything I currently did - just at a far higher level, and it suited my design knowledge perfectly, a 'Graphic Design Consultant' at a large IT company called 
While freelancing I learnt an amazing amount about time control, dealing face to face with clients and taking full responsibility for projects. I loved what I learnt and I love to meet with a client face to face when possible, I find this a great way to become familiar with client needs, get started on the project quickly, offering solid creative advice, planning carefully and executing the design work efficiently with excellent communications to all clients. 
After leaving Henley Collage in 1997 after studying Design and Photography, I began my career immediately as a Photographer at a design and web development company called RMR Design Plc.
