Some of my musings

Things I've said, photo's I've taken and funny little video's I've made that might make you smile. Opinions here are all my own and nothing to do with any place I have worked.

Twitter

Tweets and bleets in 140 characters or less (or more, depending on when they up it to 10,000 characters.).

You Tube

Little family vids, mainly shot on an iPhone. Sam Mendes doesn't need to worry!

Instagram

Instapics and posts, often with a whole bunch of Over texts and type.

Facebook

A whole bunch of stuff from all other networks - plus a few other odds and ends bespoke to FB.

Work

Creative, UX and ideas. A career in which that I have been fortunate enough to work at some of the biggest agencies on some of the biggest brands during a period where the Internet went from novelty to 'no-brainer'. Always with a bias on the end user and the delight they get from what they experience; way before terminology of UX, UI, Service Design or any other moniker has become attributed to 'what I do'. I've worked above the line, below the line, integrated, pureplay, client-side (briefly) and as a consultant working from nose to tail on the creative aspects of digital projects.

Presently heading up the creating and the UX drive at NetConstruct in Leeds.

Cargo Folio

My full folio is on Cargo - there's a lot there (as mentioned, I've been doing 'this' for some time now). To see everything and the kitchen sink click 'Cargo Folio' above. Alternatively, a small selection of the recent and relevant is shown below.
