How did I get this far?
Started out working as a freelance designer and ended up creating work for several of the best design studios in Wales.
What drives me?
Constantly improving my work, finding better ways to communicate effectively and producing work that I feel is worth while producing and that the client loves.
For just one day I'd like to walk in the shoes of...
Stan Lee, head of the Marvel franchise.
My last supper would be
Something very unhealthy as I try to eat healthily most of the time. More than likely pizza followed by Ben and Jerry's ice-cream.
Album that changed my life
Radioheads 'OK Computer'.
Incredible musicianship and songwriting. An album way before its time.
Books that influenced me the most
American Gods by Neil Gaimann. Various graphic novels. The Five People You Meet in Heaven. Countless design books/websites.
Early bird or night owl?
Early bird
Most significant travel moment
Traveling to Florida with my family when I was young. Watching a space shuttle take off.
Places I love
My home. There really is no place like it.
My mentors
Too many artists to begin mentioning. I take influence from everything I see around me. The people who have the biggest effect on me ofcourse still are my wonderful family and beautiful girlfriend whose constant support and love I could not do without.
When I'm not working I love.
Making music. Seeing friends. Exercise. Creating personal art and design projects.
Five things to do before I pop my clogs
Run a marathon, get married, travel...lots, take care of my family, make a difference to the world (no matter how small).
Life-changing moment
Meeting my girlfriend for the first time. I knew things would never be the same again.
The cynic in me says
I try not to be too cynical, although I do tend to tease the ones I love the most.
My bugbears are
People with no manners. People not stopping to help one another.
Creed I live by
Life is short, try everything once.
I'm best described as
A stickler for detail who loves his job and being able to create things for a living.
Little known facts about me
I won a national drawing competition when I was only 10.
3 strengths
Patient, talented, dedicated.
