About Us
Hello. So you'd like to know more about who we are? Well... take a seat and let our story begin
-
I was born in 1979 (the same year Alien and Life of Brian came out, 2 of my favourite films) and grew up in New Cross, South East London. I got my first computer, a ZX Spectrum when I was 10. Sadly my first bit of programming involved removing my King from a Chess game so I couldn't be beaten.
I was "educated" at the best schools in the area, all of which have been shut down due to being among the worst schools in the country. I went on to the University of Westminster where I completed a degree in Design Futures. What is that I hear you ask? If anyone ever figures that out, could you go back in time and tell my tutors! I did however learn some pretty cutting edge techniques for creative thinking and design process.
Before my final year at Uni I got a part time job working with internet start-up confetti.co.uk, after graduation I continued working there full time. In the successive 4 years I was part of the design team and later the development team, in that time it grew to be the biggest wedding website in the UK.
In 2003 I went travelling for a year and saw what a wonderful world this could be (I still know nothing about trigonometry). On my return I freelanced for various design and development agencies. In October of 2004 I decided to start my own... Creative Chamber.

With my combined skills and experience in both design and coding it was possible to offer a complete internet service from the outset. 6 years on I have worked on projects for some of the biggest brands in the world and have employed several people to work with me in this Creative Chamber of mine.
