  • me, me, me

    This is me, a freelance graphic designer, web designer, art director/project manager, marketing maven and photographer.

    I use my graphic design hat to inform my work as a photographer, and my marketing hat to inform my work as a designer. It means the medium enhances the message - never distracts from it.

    I have taken on nearly every sort of project, from corporate communications to newspapers and magazines and from websites to mobile and computer games.

    I also make a mean pot of tea, but please don't ask me to drink it any way but iced.

  • photography

    I have pursued photography both as a hobby and as a freelancer since 1984. My work has appeared in a range of business and consumer publications, including the Long Beach Tribune, South Coast Business, Discovering Long Beach, The Racing Times and the LA Times Magazine.

    I specialise in architectural, product and food photography and can provide stock imagery of a range of subjects. Some of my commercial photography work can be found here.

    Since I discovered the joy of vintage cameras, I have acquired over 16 different devices, ranging from folding and box cameras, to rangefinders, TLRs and Polaroid cameras. I use them to create Fine Art prints from film. You can view a larger selection of my fine art prints in the gallery.

  • print and web design / art direction

    I can provide creative and art direction or design for a wide range of printed materials, from publications to direct mail to packaging.

    I am equally well-versed in web design and development and have designed and created websites for channel markets, B2B and consumers. I'm proficient in a variety of web technologies, including LAMP development (Linux, Apache, mySQL and PHP) and AJAX (HTML, XML, CSS and Javascript) as well as SEO techniques, internet marketing, social media, and content management systems.

    I have extensive experience designing and producing casual games for a mass market audience including mobile phone titles.

    See below for a selection of my most recent projects.

  • project and production management

    In my work as a games producer, and web development manager, I collaborate to create strong designs with allowances for iterative development and design throughout the project. As a production manager, I take great pride in my attention to detail and have an in-depth knowledge of the entire print production process.

    Pre-production work for all sorts of projects is thorough, with an emphasis on quality, creativity and timeliness.

    I'm as comfortable with a daily deadline as I am with three-year-long projects.

    With the exception of the SimpleViewer Flash galleries and an Expression Engine-powered weblog, this site is a single page employing Ajax technologies to achieve an extremely small footprint. I've used standards-compliant HTML, CSS and jquery libraries along with the AnythingSlider plugin, the Shadowbox.js media viewer and BrightCherry's Ajax contact form.
