About

I'm a recent addition to the design field, I fell it to it completely by accident while working in marketing and being let down by designers which made me learn Photoshop fast in order to hit print deadlines.
Most of the first work I did I look back on now and cringe, but I began to enjoy it, I studied hard, took crappy jobs for experience and today have reached somewhere I never thought I'd be 3 years ago.

Design right now is really fun, the upsurge in viral campaigns and guerilla marketing has given the job a shot in the arm and brought back some of the respect it deserves.
It's an exciting time to be a part of our industry, and there's much much more to come.

“Perhaps believing in good design is like believing in God, it makes you an optimist.” - Sir Terence Conran
