Ever since I was a kid, I have wanted to be a visual artist. I made my very first steps into graphic design on my trusty Amiga with Deluxe Paint IV. At school I was introduced to web design and instantly fell in love with it. From that moment, I knew I wanted to be a graphic & web designer. I currently live in the UK in Newcastle where I work in both graphic and web design.

Better2web are a loose collective of professionals who work in the creative digital industry, who come together to make modern and elegant websites and mobile applications, or just to have a bit of fun with technology. For this site I wanted something that looked professional but reflected the creative slant of the content. The site includes a responsive web design, showcasing the website from mobile devices to 40" screens.
These website templates are another personal project of mine done purely for fun. They are high quality, table-less, W3C-compliant web design layouts offered under the Creative Commons Attribution license. I placed the emphasis on clean but versatile layouts with good quality HTML and CSS, with a bit of jQuery for some special effects and functionality.
Currently a holding page but also a full design for an academic researcher's website. I designed it with the brief of involving a typewriter and retro feel, which I also reflected in the sepia tones and font-face.
Designing a really attractive photography portfolio site is a design challenge. It has to be highly visual and attractive, but not too distracting from the focal part - the photographs themselves. The design is therefore clean and unfussy, with a black background to allow the photographs to stand out. Built in HTML5, the site has been featured in various HTML 5 best website lists and continues to attract reasonably high traffic.
Magazyn 2B is a Polish community magazine in the North East of England. I worked with their existing branding but refreshed their identity for the web. The design reflects the content rich nature of the site - the blog and magazine issues are featured most prominently. The site itself is fully content managed.
This site is an online store and catalogue for a Connecticut based artist. It is essentially a 'skin' over an open-source e-commerce platform.
This is another personal project of mine. It showcases some of my best digital photography work. To me photography is an art and with every shoot I challenge myself to grow as an artist. Rather than work, it is one of many hobbies of mine that allows me to express myself artistically. The site uses soft gradients in the background and a jQuery slideshow effect to display the photographs themselves.
