About Me

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor

I'm a graphic designer and I play bass in a band called Ivybridge. Oh, and when I get a little bit worse for wear, I sometimes become a Swedish man called Hans.
Without blowing my own trumpet. I'd say that I'm a pleasure to be around and a thoroughly nice chap. Except when I'm Hans, he's just plain rude.
I've been playing bass for nearly 12 years now and it's my favourite past time. It helps me to relax when I've been discussing paper types for 6 hours. Though, speaking of paper types, I do love them. There's not much nicer than a sheet of Somerset satin. I am also a typographer, which entails being super anal and geeky about everything I do. I've also dabbled in the black arts of filmmaking, which is hella good fun.
In other words, I'm a massive geek. And proud of it.
When I'm older (I'm only 22 :D) I would like to do one of the following: Write music or direct films, since I am already 'doing' graphic design.
