I'm based in Islington, London, UK.

A bit about me

I'm a friendly, passionate, easy going individual. I like to be reliable, laugh as much as possible, listen well and build great things: brands that deeply resonate, apps and websites that enable intuitive comprehension and/or task completion.

I am very driven and have an independent and tenacious mindset.

I have freelanced for a large range of design and advertising agencies - around Soho, Shoreditch and Clerkenwell - and have created, managed and run a number of my own businesses along the way. I am naturally entrepreneurial and multi-skilled, a self-starter with an analytical penchant. I'm interested in anything and everything, bar Death metal and James Joyce’s Ulysses.

I work well individually or as part of a team and can call on a large network of talented friends to complete project goals.

Other interests

When I'm not designing or coding, I spend time with my family, creating challenging lego custom builds, playing football and generally larking around with my kids. I do a bit of interior design for myself and friends, and also like to do the physical 'graft' on building projects too! I am passionate about efficiently designed, well-considered living spaces.

I also have an interest in theology, writing children"s books and generally helping others; nature, day dreaming and design/art history and evolution; animation, practical jokes and craft beer (but not ultra geeky); Manga, Futurism and Science fiction.
