I‘ve just completed a small brochure website for the Whyman Group, one of the North East of England’s leading events management companies. The website retains elements of the the new brand identity which was carried out by Guerilla Communications, the sister company of Guerilla Interactive.

At last, the new version of my website has been completed! Are you wondering what's with the 'beach' theme design? Well, read my Blog post a bit further down and that will become clear. Feel free to have a look around the site, comments and feedback are most welcome.
I like to write about the many things which interest, inspire or intrigue me. It's important, as a designer, to draw inspiration from as many wide and varied sources as possible. I also love the simple publishing tools of Blogger as they provide me with an easy means to post my findings on the web.

Hello there and welcome to my portfolio website. This is the fourth revision of my website, it’s taken a while to put aside the time to actually complete it. So, here it is, have a look around the various sections to see what I've been working on.
I have extensive experience working on compelling, media rich websites and multimedia projects. I also realise the importance of creating projects which are standards compliant (W3C), something I’m particularly passionate about.
I have worked on a variety of projects for clients such as Adidas, UK Sport, Connexions, Nike, Holland and Barrett, One NorthEast, Numark Pharmacists and Rowlands Pharmacy.
Feel free to find out more information about the projects I’ve worked on by visiting the 'Working' section.
I designed and built a new website for CSD Sealing Systems, a company with an international presence, specialising in watertight sealing systems.

I created a series of characters for the 'Save Our Cities' project. This was the 'bad guy' or 'Crusha' as he was known to others.
Client: NUFC Learning Centre
Crusha needed a vehicle to travel around in so I created a 'skycar' for him. I designed it to be pointy and mean looking, just like Crusha.
Client: NUFC Learning Centre
Every bad guy needs a good guy to fight, right? This is one half of the good guy duo. His name is Pitt and he doesn’t like Crusha very much.
Client: NUFC Learning Centre
And this is Puett, he's Pitt's friendly robot mate and is the other half of the good-guy duo. Pitt and Puett work tirelessy against Crusha and his evil minions.

I produced new website design concepts for the ABTA's largest independently owned travel agent.
I created the brand identity, illustrations and website design for a website aimed at 13 - 19 year olds.
This was a proposed design concept for East Durham Business Service, with the focus firmly on ease of use.
I designed an educational website for aspiring young athletes which informed them of the dangers of doping in sports.
This was an interesting project to work on where user generated content was central to the user experience.
Head of New Media
From: March 2006 - Present
I've been working for award winning North East agency Guerilla Communications for almost 2 years now. In that time, I've been responsible for developing a completely new side of the business (Guerilla Interactive) which was setup to provide a comprehensive range of digital services to existing and new clients.
The role of Head of New Media has been incredibly challenging. Defining and shaping the direction of this side of Guerilla has certainly been enjoyable, but not without some pain along the way...
Senior Web Designer
From: March 2004 - March 2006
Having worked in the private sector for a number of years, I decided that I should gain some value experience working in the public sector. This helped to better understand how this area of business operates.
I learned a great deal about web accessibility standards during my time at South Tyneside Council which has benefited me greatly in terms of how I construct my web pages.
Web / Graphic Designer
From: 2002 - 2004
Indigo Multimedia are one of the North East of England's leading multimedia design companies. Working there proved to be a fantastic environment for developing my design skills. I also realised just how important project management is to the smooth development of any web project.
During my time at Indigo Multimedia I worked for clients such as UK Sport, Connexions, The GERI Project and Adidas.
