I always wanted to do something artistic.
My dad used to say "stop messing around and get a proper job".
I was born in Hartlepool back when there were only three TV stations! After my schooling I went to Cumbria College of Art & Design to study Graphic Design.

I have now worked in the design business since 1984, starting in London at Freemans Catalogue in their promotions department. I then moved to P&O Cruises designing their Princess Cruises brochures.

I now live in Harrogate and have worked at Somers Communications and KM2 Design & Advertising both agencies in Wetherby. I now work Freelance as a Web/Graphic designer working out of Harrogate.
