About me, freelance web & graphic designer in Sussex
I was trouble in the ’70s – (according to my mum), did the big school & art college thing in the ’80s, spent most of the ’90s somewhere else, broke free from the man in the 00’s becoming a freelance web & graphic designer in 2008.
I’m fuelled by tea (and an occasional ale) & music. Some people call me a great designer, I don’t correct them!
Birth
I arrived on the scene in the golden age of bold patterns, classic tunes, & the dawning of all things digital. Early on, I developed an eye for the most iconic designs & gadgets of the time.
In the later part of the decade & in spite of repeated run-ins with The Police, I managed to stay on the straight & narrow.
School
The 80s were a blur of neon colours, synththesisers & home computers. Embracing this new technology I spent countless hours programming, beta-testing, & defending the Galaxy.
Eventually outgrowing school, I turned my back on academia hanging-loose at Art College, following my passion for drawing shapes & colouring things in.
Work
Fresh out of Art College, I embarked on a career in the print industry – starting with hands-on screen printing, before joining the local newspaper’s pre-press department, where I was introduced to the magical Macintosh rekindling my love of design.
In ’95, I joined the fast-paced design agency LDA Design, where I stayed until 1999, when I was invited to manage the newly established in-house design studio at PRG Publicity.
Freedom
By 2008, it was time to take the leap & become self-aware-employed. I set up my home design studio to help businesses stand out with design that’s both professional agency quality, with freelance flexibility, approach & price.
Since then, I’ve been fortunate to build long-standing client partnerships – grounded in trust, creativity & a touch of humour. Many have been with me since the beginning & I’m proud to still be their go-to designer.
Future
With over 25 years in commercial design, I approach every project with the same mix of professionalism & creativity, & with a little humour thrown in the mix.
Whether you need a distinctive logo or brand, a website design that makes an impact, or practical marketing design support, I’m here to help you create a brand that endures.

Still not convinced?
Well here’s some food for thought…about food.
in the last year alone.
for “authenticity.”
I’d offer you a coffee, but until someone invents USB espresso, you’ll have to make your own damn brew! (unless you’re local). So while you’re at it, here’s a few pop-tastic bangers to blast while the kettle boils. Play it loud, while you spill the beans.
