About me

So here is a bit about myself. I'm not really one for selling my story so hopefully you see who I am.

Born and raised south of Preston, Lancashire never without a pencil in my hand. From a very young age I always wanted to draw or create using my imagination. From drawing competition wins to the present day achieving creative awards. I feel art, design and creativity is something from the mind and soul, inventive, imaginative changing perceptions of how things should be. It also helps us communicate in a positive way bringing about change for the better.

My biggest inspirations have been the likes of Leonardo Da Vinci, Einstein and Pollock, Hirst or Banksy. The real creators, inventors and thinkers, those who aren't scared to try something, even if someone says that's impossible or won't work. Without those type of people much of what we see or know today would not exist.

Adobe Creative Suite has always been at the core of most things that I have created. The likes of After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere and Cinema 4D have been essential to this. I have utilised additional tools to achieve certain goals. I have a real passion for typography, as a font choice can make or break a piece of work. I have great interest in motion graphics, 3D and VFX, appreciating the real attention to detail that goes into some of the smallest sections of films. I love the problem solving of UX & UI design finding the right solutions a nice challenge.

From 2010 to 2020 I helped millions of Liverpool FC fans connect with the club, utilising the power of design & creativity. I grew and managed a team of multi-skilled talented designers, guiding and mentoring, creating content for an award winning Digital Media department.

I'm always looking to learn new creative techniques and skills, educating myself to be a better creative mind and person. I'm constantly learning as we can always improve ourselves and love to pass this knowledge on to others, giving them better perpsective on work.

My musical tastes are eclectic, helping to select music and match it to a motion/animation/video piece of work. I have a diverse range of interests from conservation, art, architecture, culture, culinary skills, craft, gardening, films, music, cycling, documentaries, blogs, walking and many sports which have driven some of my career paths.

Thanks for your time taken to read this, hopefully it gave you an insight to the person that I am, if you need to know more please just message me. I love to connect with new people and share insights and knowledge where I can.
