About Me


I'm a designer based in Staffordshire, whose work covers a broad spectrum including Graphic, Web & Product design, Illustration & Furniture.

I like making things. From stuff. Have a butchers at my website quick-smart .

I'm a firm believer in the reduction of environmental impact through good design, and quite a bit of my work reflects this. Through the reduction of energy use and the careful use of materials, I think we designers and consumers can do an awful lot to help. My aim is to offer a service to those companies and individuals who have the same kind of opinion as myself.

Please feel free to have a look my portfolio of work. If you would like to discuss any of my projects or ideas further, just get in touch.


I was born in Ashford, Kent. Its a beautiful place. I grew up there and went to school at the good ol' Norton Knatchbull.

I progressed to art college after that, at KIAD in Canterbury. Its now changed its name to something fancy, probably to disassociate itself from me.

I then upped sticks, moved to Leeds and studied 3D Design at Leeds Metropolitan University. Stayed there for a while after graduation, living with my girlfriend, Lisa.

We recently moved to Stone in Staffordshire. Who knows what'll happen there. Best go and find out I suppose...

As time goes on, I'm sure the saying "A little older, a little wiser" doesn't apply to a great deal.
