I am a freelance designer with over 14 years experience within the graphic design industry.

• Awesomely Simple

I call myself a graphic designer first and foremost, if only to impress the girls, yet I have skills and passions in many areas of computing, Internet, programming, design, usability and troubleshooting. Okay, I lied a little. I'm not passionate about programming & troubleshooting but I seem to have a mind that's tuned to that sort of thing. The bit about impressing girls is true though. It happened once.

I have been called a pragmatist and while that might sound boring, I like to make all my designs as simple, practical and logical as possible and if I manage to make them look great too then I feel I've succeeded. I'm really not a 'wow' kinda guy, but I do create stuff that works nicely and looks good. To quote Charles Mingus, "Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity".

• When I'm not working

I'll be honest here, I love computers and the internet. I spend a good portion of my day in front of the screen, designing, researching and sometimes just mucking about. Ever since I was 11 and I was given an Atari 2600 gaming machine I've been glued to the screen. Sony Ps2, Phones, various PCs (Windows) . Oh mighty MacBook Pro, how I fancy thee.

But, aside from the geek stuff I do allow myself to get out and about too. I like walking around, exploring and taking photos. I'm definitely just an enthusiast photographer as you can see from my photos on picasa & facebook. Music, hanging out with my mates, drinking and eating, watching movies and traveling pretty much sums up the remainder of my time.
