A little about me
Born and bred in Sydney Australia, I am a very keen and outgoing Graphic Designer who specialises in Web Design. I like to put it this way because I see myself as a very well rounded designer and enjoy working in other types of media. I am a very active type of guy, I love to get involved and I love working with like minded people.
For the best part of four years I have spent traveling Europe, I have lived and worked in the United Kingdom and also in Padova, Northern Italy.
Some of the sorts of things I like to do when I'm not looking at a computer screen include traveling, snowboarding, mountain bike riding, exercising at the gym, checking out interesting exhibitions whether it be art or photography, taking pictures, listening to music and cooking.
