Hello!

I’ve been involved with design since 1986 when I first started work at Austin Knight Advertising in London’s Soho Square, since then I’ve gone on to work in recruitment advertising, magazine publishing, marketing and multimedia. I love the creative process, bringing an idea to life, this is why I particularly enjoy working in web and multimedia; taking a concept, creating lines of code and making something that people can interact with. I also into learning new things and pushing myself – from online training courses such as Treehouse, CodeSchool and Lynda.com to teaching myself to use Cheetah3D (an excellent 3D modeling application) to create Illustrations for a brochure that I was designing.
Over the years I’ve become very proficient in many applications; from the classics – Photoshop, Illustrator, Quark Xpress and InDesign, plus the newer tools, such as Sketch and the Affinity series to the tools of the web trade: Dreamweaver, PHPStorm, Sublime Text and Visual Studio.

And it’s no point knowing all the latest software if you don’t know your code, so I like to keep up with my PHP, CSS and JavaScript skills by following great blogs such as Chris Coyier’s ‘CSS Tricks‘, ‘Codepen‘; an excellent website for developing and sharing projects or ideas as well as Plunker.

A little bit more.

Apart from programming, my second passion is music and I have built a little studio based around Macs and a PC running ProTools, Logic, Reason, Ableton Live and the classic Opcode Studio Vision Pro. Complete with a pile of synths, samplers and drum machines – take a Look, I’ve even managed to sell a few tracks on Audiojungle. Have a listen via the link.

As well as composing, creating synths in Reaktor, MAX/MSP and making sample libraries, I also like to take photographs – “Click!”.
