about this site

This site is an experiment in full width layout as well as my portfolio. It was designed for high resolution screens although it degrades gracefully at lower resolution. It also includes fully implemented keyboard control and mousewheel tracking.

The site makes extensive use of jQuery. I have used or customised the following so a big thumbs up to: Finally the fish! The awesome fish on the site are from a mobile in my kitchen. Made by an amazing company called flenstead. Please check them out.

about

me I'm a 28 year old digital designer and front end developer from Kent in the UK.
I've been in and around computers and design for as long as I can remember. My first memories of Photoshop were using it to draw as a child on a Macintosh II. I have been working as a digital designer since 2005.

I love design, the internet and the technologies that make it work. Be it coding or designing I relish the challenges that both present.

This website is a showcase of my recent work and an experiment in web technology. To find out more about the site click info & controls, to find out more about me please download my cv or get in touch.
