When I'm not working on all things web, you'll find me spending time with family and friends, writing music, reading, trying not to kill my plants gardening, and making
crafty things.

Professional biography

I originally started out studying graphic design at university, but fell in love with web design along the way.

In 1999 I built my first professional website for a commercial client. In the years since I've worked with various government and commercial organisations on a range of online projects.

My design philosophy

"Fail to do right by the site's users and what you'll end up owning is a useless, budget gobbling liability for your company and your brand." - Andy Rutledge (Give your website away)

"Successful websites are built for the people who use them: your customers. While ultimately the website needs to realise goals for the organisation, this can be best achieved through meeting users' needs." - Quirk eMarketing (Usability: The key to successful design)

I approach design from a user-focused perspective, which ensures the best results are gained for both my clients and their site users. Design Strategist Andy Rutledge sums this up nicely in his short article Give your website away.

I work closely with my clients to determine their business needs, their website goals, and the people they want to reach. I then craft a custom solution that appeals directly to my client's ideal customers and maximises their return on investment (ROI).

Proven and effective design principles are a staple of my work. I combine these with usability, accessibility, and an expert understanding of online conventions, to craft beautiful and highly usable websites that get results.
