About me

I am an enthusiastic individual. I am looking for a position in web design. This is something I'm not only passionate about but enjoy. My aim is to find a job where I can utilise my current skills and learn new ones. I have examples of my work on my own personal website for you to look at, *

I would like the chance to work in an ever changing industry where the ability of keeping skills up to date is key. I am reliable, punctual, trustworthy and able to work on my own or as part of a team.

In 2009 I approached AFM web design, a Stevenage based web company looking for either a job or unpaid work experience. I sent in my CV along with a link to my website asking for at the very least some feedback on my portfolio. As it turned out they had a full staff, but they liked my approach and took the time to look at my website. They decided to set me some little challenges and then gave me the break I've been looking for, unpaid work experience.

My first commercially developed website is now live *. I feel I have taken a lot from this opportunity, I have now dealt with a client for the first time, I have learnt about the design process and some more about using CSS based layouts which will be beneficial to me for future websites. I have also learnt a little about web accessibility, an area I want to explore more, and the importance of SEO. Not only this I've made some new friends along the way. By working with AFM I now have a greater insight into what is required from a website, not just from the clients themselves but legally.
