Hello, welcome to my portfolio
IAM CURRENTLY WORKING FREELANCE for various design agencies and private clients. I am also open to offers for a full time position in a design agency where I can contribute as part of a creative design team.
With over four years professional graphic design experience and many more at College and University I have become very in-tune with the design process and am able to work to a brief alone or with a team.
My areas of experience are diverse - ranging from magazine design for the Manchester United home programme to web interface design and build using valid XHTML and CSS.
I strive to make designs that are not only functional, intuitive, usable, accessible and balanced but are also elegant, effective and engaging.
I also have a strong passion for typography, illustration, printing, paper, photography, iconography, fine art, graffiti art, music, Apple Macs, Adobe CS, web standards, the open source movement and the social web.
