I'm a South West-based interaction designer & developer, and I've been doing this since 1996.

I'm skilled in concept creation, interaction design and development, lots of heavyweight Flash, mobile and touch interfaces, and much more.

I have plenty of experience of agency, client, freelance and permanent roles.

I'm an advocate of progressive enhancement, user-centric design and using the right technology for each job.

If you have any interesting projects you'd like me to work on remotely or in-house, please contact me and we can get cracking.
