B orn in Edinburgh (which I still consider my hometown), schooled in Dundee and a wee Hertfordshire town called Hitchin. Studied media production and journalism at the captial of culture that is Luton.
Now live in Newcastle and work as a graphic/website designer and information architect, these days mainly helping local councils make their websites easier to use.
I'm bang into listening to and DJ'ing music of many kinds: funk, hip-hop, soul, reggae, electro. Proud to be part of the unstoppable force and improbable farce known as the Blunt Beats crew - see www.bluntbeats.com (Continued in the bit over there on the left)
Also maddeningly interested in the theory of designing new things and making existing things easier to use - websites, typefaces, branding, magazines, interiors, furniture, anything really...
I try to play as much sport as work and Sunday morning hangovers will allow (usually turns into golf once a week these days). Still doing Wing Chun Kung Fu and about to start up 5-a-side footie again after 5 years off - that's gonna hurt!
