I've been working with design tools and communication challenges since 1990, which means I've lived through every major shift in how visual content gets made and delivered. From paste-up and repro to Flash, from Flash to responsive web, from print-first to digital-first and back again.

That breadth isn't accidental; I've always been drawn to learning new things rather than staying in a comfortable lane, and it's meant I can turn my hand to a wide range of briefs without needing a long run-up. The timeline below gives an overview of where I've worked and what I've done. Download my full CV if you'd like the complete picture.
