An introduction

Where to start. Ive been working in the "design" industry for 10 years, focusing on many aspects of the general sector. My works and broad range of clients have given me the chance to be involved in many interesting projects, projects that have not only focused on the design aspect of many media types, but also the technical, preparatory and implementation processes.

My main background is Graphic design, but I have always been interested and captivated by the digital media scene. Whether it be websites, flash applications or iPhone applications and promotion, I've probably dealt with them all.

Luckily I had an avid interest in computers and computer programming in general, studying at both high school and university, and during my later period practicing my graphic design Ba course, I started involving digital media more heavily.

I dont think I should go on and on about my history, but i will tell you that up until now, its been an interesting and eventful journey, learning new things along the way, and expanding on my capacity to deliver to the client and expand my knowledge base of the design and media sector.

General

As I said, I'm not going to waffle on to much about what I know and how I do things, I dont think it is that important.

What I will say is that from day one, I take every relationship with the client seriously, i take every deliverable seriously, i believe that each client is the most important client, and aspire to deliver the higest possible quality and experience to them as possible.

When I am not working, i generally still have a yearning or lean to creating, be it through photography, painting, sculpture, I just can't stop.

I've even vj'd at several large events, for well known artists both providing visuals, or supporting extra acts bot local and international.

I think I will stop here, and just say to you to check the work out, and I hope you enjoy.
