FULL BIO
I work with websites because I enjoy it - mostly for the great balance of design freedom
and the challenge of being efficient. I've loved designing for the web since my first website,
(I think) back in 1996. Since then I must have built 50 sites or more for small to medium
businesses, schools and community organisations, mostly in and around my hometowns
in the Barossa Valley, South Australia.
I'm used to freelancing on my own, and working as part of a team. I'm always interested
in learning a new way to do something, and love beautiful code.
I recently left Australia to travel in South America for 9 months. It was an incredible
adventure, but I'm very ready to start building some exciting new web stuff.
