About Me

I'm a young single new-media creative freelancing as a Interactive designer. Since leaving University last millenium I have worked in and around London and Surrey in a whole multitude of jobs from a systems tester to a games programmer.In my spare time I like to keep active and creative though not necessarily at the same time. In the last few years I have taken up the noble sport of Fencing which keeps me fit and gives me an outlet for releasing the daily stress of work. I also have reached the level of 4th Kyu in Karate and have skills in stick fighting. Keeping my inner child happy I'm also a beta tester for Playstation when I have the time.My main passion in work and in my spare time is music. While I don't really have any talent in creating, I like to fill my day listening to music discovering new bands and hopefully getting to know the musicians. With my skills as a artist and Flash coder I'm always up for helping bands with there websites as well.
