About


I’m a web designer that specializes in helping my clients make money from their websites. I also aim to help my clients meet any other business goals.

Art and Design has been a main interest for me all my life. In 2001 I began a IT and Art A Levels. I got my first taste of web design and have continued to learn each week since how to produce effective work.

My main web design skills are front end design, CSS, HTML and a good allround knowledge of the Internet. I also enjoy karate and am working on achieving a black belt.
