About me

I am a Web/Graphic designer and bespoke illustrator based on the Surrey/West Sussex border. I am currently working as a freelance Graphic/Web designer for a new and growing client base. I originally trained as a photographer but I moved into graphic design when I discovered the wonders of Photoshop. Design has always been my hobby as well as my profession and it is something I take a lot of enjoyment from. If I’m not working on client projects, I am working on new graphic techniques or learning some new software to advance my skills.
