About me

From my roots in newspaper publishing, reaching out to help local businesses and sports clubs, becoming a radio DJ, a father, and a husband, I am lucky to have contributed to many inspiring projects for international hoteliers and tour operators, produced Hasbro's first ever town-based Monopoly set for my home town, designed water bills that are received by me now as a customer, and produced pet food packaging that even my own dog enjoys. I enjoy nothing more than seeing the products of my efforts used and appreciated.

Whilst absorbing social media and technology, I still yearn for products that I can feel and hold, and I am always proud to be part of something tangible - although I enjoy tapping or clicking the fruits of my labours too.

My interests include music, gaming, and sports. I was a founding DJ of my local radio station (Meridian FM), and I enjoy being amongst the first to try new technology (I'm an Amazon Echo using, Kickstarter backing, beta testing, Apple Watch wearer).
