I have an utterly unshakable passion
or design. When Im not designing or
talking, reading or writing about design,
Im thinking about it. Its what I love to do.
I have an equal passion or print and the
web. Im an aable chap with a good sense
o humour and I make a mean pot o tea.
My training as an architect has ostered
within me a constantly enquiring
critical ability to nd new, creative and
impassioned ways to solve old problems.
In short, the most vital actors in my
approach to design are well ordered and
structured content, great typography,
thoughtul use o colour, high usability,
unctionality and simplicity.
I have a very strong client-centered
approach. I believe in involving the client
as much as possible at all stages.
I like to provide my clients with constant
eedback. A client who has invested time,
will also invest emotionally.
I am always looking or alternative
techniques and technologies to make my
working practice more ecient. Design
should not stagnate and I never shirk romchange.

Tis project involved working with an award-winning wedding cake supplier to completely redesign their website. Teir existing
static site was not proving to be usable or their sta. Te quick turnaround o their products meant that they required an easy to use
interace or sharing their work with customers. We decided early on that a Wordpress site would provide a usable interace yet allow
unlimited reedom in design. Initially through brainstorming, diagramming and sketching, and then later through wireraming, we
produced an inormation architecture strategy and a Wordpress template.
