        about.

        I’ve always loved maths, logic, design, and language and for me, coding is at the intersect of all these pleasures.

        I love the challenge of trying to figure out clean ways to make things more efficient.

        Post TV Art Department career I started building websites and quickly realised that as well as loving visual design, I also love building the behind the scenes - of finding elegant ways to make everything work and coming up with neat solutions to the problems that occur along the way.

        Want to work together, find out more, or just shoot me a question?
