Freelance design born and raised in Jersey, Channel Islands. I started my journey to becoming a designer at my primary school by winning the Christmas card competition! To be honest it wasn’t really about the competition and my drawing was (still is) non-existent, but it was a decent introduction to the powerful scope of good computer skills, however rudimentary at the time 🙂

I was fortunate enough to go to a boarding school in Cheltenham where the facilities were awesome, this allowed me to explore the boundaries of what computers could produce. I quickly learnt that with the right tools, anything was possible! Everything seemed to require an open mind at this stage of my life and sometimes a different approach, in many ways it helped shape the man I am today.

After spending a year experiencing graphic design and production with an advertising agency and print companies in Jersey I was certainly encouraged to pursue a degree course in the field. I chose Multimedia, Production and Technology followed by a post graduate course in Media Graphic Design. Whilst in London as a student I also had a part-time job with a London advertising agency.

Off the strength of my graduation exhibition I was then offered the position of Graphic Designer for a range of companies including Jersey’s largest printer, offering a full service from design to print with HugglerPrint and working on exciting projects both in the private and public sectors from concept to printed product with Barnes Publishing. Being in-house I found myself spanning disciplines beyond my role and played a large part in evolving the marketing strategies for each company, using measurable results and my own experiences to develop my skills and strengthen the company’s position in their respective markets.
