About Me
Freelance Graphic and Web Designer based in Scarborough in the UK. Whilst studying I have always taken an active role in furthering my education and freelanced throughout college and university. This has given me a substantial portfolio covering advertising, web design, print, photography and illustration. Although my portfolio mainly consists of these mediums I try to turn my skills in other directions which have included web development and Flash animation.
Through attending college and university, I have covered projects, issues and modules including Media Design, Interaction Design, HTML and CSS coding, PHP and My SQL, Flash development, Adobe Creative Suite training, Photography, 3D Design, iPhone App Development, The Psychology of Internet Behaviour, Databases, Dynamic Web programming, Javascript and Ajax, Corporate Branding studies and several work experience placements.

Print Design
Designing for print is a passion of mine, I grew up surrounded by design wondering, how do they do that? So I took off to design school and have never looked back!
Websites
Over the past 5 years I have been lucky enough to produce websites for a variety of clients, including photographers, artists and even a cake shop! Some of the examples are conceptual ideas that I produced as part of my degree
Logos
Identity awareness and branding are what drives most of my design work. I believe highly in taking the time to sit down with clients and discuss exactly what they want to say and how to encorporate this into a brand thatworks for the client long term. There is no point in having a logo that will not stand the test of time.
Photography
Photography is a hobby of mine, and one that I have used to gain inspiration for many of my design concepts. I also had the opportunity to work alongside Sky Sports to produce a unique insight into the Thundercats World Championship. If you have any comments or would like to purchase prints, please contact me using the form at the bottom of the page.
Illustration
This section of the site is aimed at creative fun that I use as an outlet inbetween projects, which usually is not a lot of time. As you can see I like to use my graphics tablet like a child with a new pack of crayons.
