Who am i?
I'm a 26 year old Graphic Designer / Web Designer / Photographer from Newport, South Wales. To be honest I'm always asking myself what I actually am, simply put I'd call myself a creative; that can capture a multitude of personas.

The journey…
I left school with the idea of being a Sound Engineer and that happened for 18months doing a variety of freelance work in South Wales. Then I went down the IT route working in local government as a technical analyst looking after a large Windows Server infrastructure.

This led me to working with a small development team building internal web applications focussing on user interface design and unleashing a passion for web standards.

Where I am…
I'm still in local government now, but working as a graphic designer for a communications team. Each day is different, print design, web design, video production, social media exploration, photography and the office Apple geek.

Where I want to be…
I want to specialise, I'm passionate about the web and how we use it so Web Design / UX is where I'd like to go. I'd love to work myself however I think I'd rather be with like minded people in a small studio / agency.
