Since gaining degree qualification, I have been privileged to have work on some of the worlds best known brands, along with being exposed to the latest changes in the online industry. I am currently freelancing, both by means of getting out and about to see whats out there, but shake up the variety of work, there are of course pro's and con's for freelancing, compared to working full-time, would I go back full-time - maybe..

Outside of the work place I am at a age where family life is important, and after a busy week, the weekend offers a relaxing wind down, and being 20min from the beach and the south coast..There is often no better place to enjoy an bit of tranquility, im a easy going laid back guy, who totally enjoys the balance of work and home life..

Time has flown by, and thats thanks to continued great projects, and clients, over that time I have maintained a drive and desire, to learn and push further, this has to be the way, as within a multimedia industry, its truely become just that, and how people embrace new technology has drastically changed, in many ways for the better, more obviously the rapid rise of Social Media, at the same time software has come and gone, media formats also have passed by the way, thinking back to the past demand for CD-Roms, on my travels

I have worked for Saatchi & Saatchi, globally and historically renowned, for cutting edge advertising, Eidos Interactive, the then leading computer games publisher in the UK, and on my travels have worked at some of the leading agencies, along this journey you never feel like you cant evolve more, as the industry continues to evolve, to deliver higher quality, in a much hightened demand for the digital platform.

Obviously over last 15 years or so has seen a vast amount of change, hardware, software, and end product, with things coming and going, rising and falling, rom CD-Roms came and went, websites exploded then crashed in the dot com boom, the steady to a more viable level that we see today..

with these advances computers have also evolved, as did the software, along the way I have worked daily along this journey, Adobe Suite from the early days to the present, I currently have a 17" 2011 spec Macbook Pro, with a fully licenced copy of CS5 Master Collection, and Office 2011, and as part of the Apple Developer program, I am often running the latest or even un-released software..

I have used Apple for nearer 20 years, and from OS6 right up to the present, I have been consistently competent at setting up, networking and trouble shooting macs, I can also use PC's, but prefer doing work on a mac..

Currently using:

Apple Mountain Lion 10.8
Adobe Master Collection CS5.5 (Photoshop, Fireworks, Dreamweaver, illustrator, Flash, AfterEffects)
Microsoft Office 2011 (Word, Excel, Powerpoint)
Others Mamp, Opera, Chrome, Firefox - any a few more..
