about

as you’ve come to this page - I can only assume you are curious about me?
I am not much of a writer but here it goes…

coming from a background of hand-drawn advertising (flyers, posters, pub blackboards) - I ventured into the digital arena by doing a graphic design course. Working for a while as freelance graphic designer - I soon felt drawn to the internet and the design possibilities offered for online design. As I was not confident in my technical abilities - I could not get my head around HTML. Feeling very much like a visual designer and worrying I would not have the brain for code I ended up doing flash design instead, creating small promotional websites. Though I absolutely loved this work I did realise the drawbacks and felt I needed to bite the bullet and learn coding.

After a brief introduction to HTML - I read Jeffrey Zeldman’s “Designing with web standards”. And that was it… discovering Eric Meyer and his site - I went on to teach myself handcoding and CSS and soon started working towards the web standards, thanks to the wonderful web community and its spirit of sharing knowledge. Now I am happily learning more all the time as well as teaching web design the way I feel it should be taught.

The latest exciting news for me is the imminent launch of the eyedea website - my new team with whom I hope to do even more creative and exciting work in the future.
