My Clients are important to me and keeping them informed both on my site and through social media is the key to good partnerships. Over the years my work has included developing and creating materials for major comic companies, computer games, CD cases, social media accessory content, magazine / web / marketing ads both globally and virally; animations, design and print art-working - as well as occasional CAD work for motorbike parts and even a camera head for an American company! Projects include creating exhibition stands, utilising multiple media (i.e. animation and planning up constructs); developing user applications for both smart media and combining software to achieve them.

Fully conversant with: 3D Studio Max, Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Dreamweaver, Flash, Gif animator, Adobe Premier, After Effects. Sound Forge, Auto Cad, Microsoft Office. 

Listen to your Clients

It may sound obvious but it's the most important thing. Your client may already know what it is they want even if they can not quite describe or visualise it. Listening to them, understanding them and then guiding them through is the process that leads to a successful result.

The only way to succeed is together. This has always been the key to progress.

Design

The sky's the limit ...or is it

I believe a good design comes from what you create but leaves you to finish the sentence.

Advertising

Shock, awe and style

I have created hundreds of adverts that have been printed globally and have helped endorse many products.

Publication

Book and magazine creation

I can create your books and publications as well as setting them up for print to industry standard.

3D Creation

You think it up… I’ll build it

Finding the common ground between idea and ideal. Building your concept and presenting it to the world in multiple formats is what I do.
