I specialise in the creation of innovative and creative web solutions whilst also prioritising accessibility and usability.
As well as doing freelance work I am currently a full time employee of Yell where I work on the team responsible for designing, building and maintaining Yell.com, Yell Direct and Yell Mobile.
When I am not sitting at my computer I enjoy writing and performing music on the bass guitar. In the last couple of years I have been lucky enough to preform live on BBC Radio 2, BBC 6music and XFM as well as at Reading Festival.
Many thanks to CSS Vault, One Page Love, CSS Clip, Screenalicious, Design Float, Most Inspired, and CSS Walk for supporting my portfolio.
