Bio

I must have been around 4 years old when my dad brought home an original Sinclair ZX Spectrum. I instantly knew that even with the long wait for the game to load and the simple wire frame graphics I was absolutely hooked on computers!

I did quite well in science at school and then went on to start a Chemistry degree. However, after 2 years as the internet become more a part of our daily lives, I discovered that my true love was in digital design and development.  I left University and began a job doing CAD and studied in the evenings to get a Graphic Design HNC at Brooklands College. This taught me about typography, creativity and layout.  Once I finished my Graphic Design studies I became a Web Designer and worked for a company creating websites for Mortgage Brokers.

I then worked for different agencies as Front End Developer and then Senior Front End Developer and was invited to become Creative Director for an Agency specialising in the automotive sector.

After a few years I took the plunge and started my own business in 2015!

I am married to Emma and we have two amazing children, Jack and Erin.  I am passionate about fitness, writing and spending time with my family and friends. I am always up for new challenges and opportunities, so if you have something in mind please don't hesitate to drop me a massage.
