Ay up duck
Profile
I'm from Nottingham (hence the greeting above) and am currently based in the city too. I'm a designer, focused mainly on producing meaningful experiences through web, product and system design.
Outside of my main focus of product design, I'm still able to work on projects which involve things like creative direction, print design, illustration and motion, often on projects which excite me and that I'm passionate about.
Say hello and give me a shout if you're interested in working together.
