There’s something innately satisfying about the physical nature of printed materials.
Designing for print is a skill I’ve had to develop as clients requested business cards and other collateral to accompany their websites.
I often find I’m as excited as my clients to see the end result.

Here are a few doodles from the last few years; some commercial, some for friends and many just to satisfy my urge to put pencil to paper.
Director, OOKO Limited. 12/04 – 03/09.
I was co-Director of this 2-man Leith-based Design agency, responsibilities covered all areas of running the company from budget control and managing clients and suppliers as well as undertaking and adapting to a broad range of design briefs. As a small agency we had to be very flexible in our approach to work to accommodate the full spectrum of promotional media available to our clients.
Webmaster, Diet Chef Ltd. 08/09 – 11/09.
Diet Chef is the largest diet home delivery service in the UK servicing over 20,000 customers. My role was primarily to develop a new look and feel for the Diet Chef website as well as design of complimentary marketing materials such as leaflets, brochures and advertising.

I have enjoyed periods of freelancing in between full-time jobs finding varied design and web development work mostly through recommendation and word of mouth. I also use this time to further develop my skills set.
Digital Developer, Editions Financial Ltd. 05/11 – 09/14.
Editions Financial is the only content marketing agency dedicated to finance and business. I was employed to enable the agency to create and deliver digital content marketing campaigns for the world’s leading financial and business brands. As the company’s sole Digital Developer I was required to quickly assimilate and implement a wide range of both online and offline technologies to enable the agency to offer digital solutions in addition to their traditional print-based approach.
