The obligatory "About me" section. Well, I'm 23, from Bristol/South Gloucestershire, and I love working with web technologies and image/animation. I've always been hooked on computers and digital media, and over the years have gravitated towards multimedia endeavours such as site design, image production, game creation and audio and video editing. I've kept busy with various projects and I always like to expand into new areas, and learn new techniques to advance my capabilities. I also enjoy drawing and photography in my free time.
My university course has taught me key programming skills in the likes of VBScript, ActionScript and Java, and these have allowed me to vastly expand my abilities for web design. By teaching myself PHP and MySQL, I am now able to create fully dynamic, database-driven websites with full online administration systems, which have proven very successful in two freelance jobs for DMHay Church Supplies. The ability to program has opened up whole new possibilities for my work, and now so much more suddenly seems possible.
I also possess a keen eye for quality and detail in all of my design-based work, and I can identify and produce styles and layouts to a professional standard, with variety and originality. I can feel motivated to work to my full capabilities on individual projects, and also have much experience in working as part of a team, where I can organise meetings and tasks, and work productively with my colleagues. I have a very strong record of meeting deadlines and an ability to learn new skills and software very quickly.
Please browse the portfolio section for details on a range of my favourite projects, including both academic and freelance work.
