I embarked on the mission to become a Web designer about 15+ years ago as a means of personal and professional career development. After completing a HNC in multimedia, I went on to university and gained a BSc First Class Degree in Multimedia.
I began working as a self-employed web design contractor for both a corporate and internet marketing company.
After a few years, I decided I wanted to build up my own client base and portfolio, creating websites, primarily for start-up companies, SMEs and individuals wanting an on-line presence.
I later wanted to gain experience in a web design agency and began working for MrSite LTD and Coralon.
Recently, I worked as the Digital designer for Abel & Cole’s marketing team. Creating digital content including creating web assets and pages, marketing emails and blogs.
I have a track record of successful projects having built a number of websites across different business areas and market sectors.
Skills
I work with HTML, HTML5, CSS, CSS3, and WordPress. I also hand-code HTML and CSS. For graphics I mostly use Adobe Photoshop as well as InDesign and Illustrator.
You can see examples of my work on the portfolio page.
Interesting facts about me
- I love cheese! Any kind of cheese I eat most things with a side of cheese
- I love ketchup, mayonnaise or chilli sauce. Just like cheese, apart from cereal, I eat just about everything with a side of either one of the three.
- I love learning new things. I have taught myself many new things over the years including very basic Portuguese which I will happily speak very badly from time to time. I have also mostly self-taught myself HTML and CSS on the fly in the jobs and projects I have worked for in the past.
- I have double jointed thumbs. I often convince people I have broken my thumb when I am in a playful mood.
- I love tomatoes but I dislike tomato seeds
- I dislike anything that breathes and has more than 4 legs apart from an octopus!
