Brief Summary
I was born in Stockton-on-Tees. I attended Blakeston Comprehensive School and Cleveland College of Art & Design. I create concepts and visuals and develop ideas, working closely to a brief or directly with the client. I work well under pressure, both individually and as part of a team and have an excellent technical knowledge of both print and internet techniques.
I am well versed in most graphic design applications, but specialise (and have given training) in the Adobe Creative Suite (all versions), Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Flash, Dreamweaver and Fireworks on both Mac and Windows platforms, Quark Xpress (all versions) and Fontographer which I use to create my own custom typefaces. I design web sites using HTML, CSS, Flash (Actionscript 2.0) and Javascript (JQuery). I can also get the best out of Microsoft Word, Microsoft Powerpoint. I have experience in Macintosh based hardware, networking and software installation and troubleshooting.
Hobbies and Interests
I have a passion for Street Art, Music, Skateboarding, Stencil Painting and Football. I also play guitar to a very low standard, but enjoy renovating and customising guitars.
