Summary & Highlights:
I’m a designer with strong coding skills and a background in art. The starting point for all my work is pen on
paper and I take it from there using whatever tools best fit the job and the medium, usually Photoshop and
Illustrator.
Email is one of the strongest performing marketing methods out there and over the last 8 years I’ve
designed Emails for Kodak, Betfair, and GFK, and built many more for numerous high profile clients.
I’ve also designed print work, large-scale shop banners for deep blue aquarium design, In-box print
collateral for Kodak, and magazine spreads for Citroen Wells Chartered Accountants.
I’ve designed several microsites, developed others, and build flash banners for HP.
As a developer I’ve worked on leading international brands such as Bentley, Burberry and O2, and been
exposed to consistently good design in award winning agencies.
