Profile
I’m a creative thinker with a passion for creating the big idea with the perfect solution. I love to be involved with projects from inception and work right through to the final execution.
Who am I?
I’m co-founder of Electric, a website design and website development agency, based in Sydney, Australia. Between myself and Luke Schreur (co-founder #2 of Electric!) we offer a wide range of services for businesses looking to expand and improve their online presence.
A creative at heart
I have worked through the full design & development lifecycle – with regular & extensive client interaction. I’ve excellent brainstorming capabilities and have consulted to UK creative agencies to brainstorm for major brands such as Diageo (Guinness), Heineken UK and Coca-Cola Ireland.
Experience
I have over 8 years professional experience and I have been involved in either the web development or creative process for high profile clients such as Microsoft, eBay, PayPal, Nissan, St. George Bank Australia, Channel9/MSN, MARS, Sanyo, Pedigree, Georg Jensen, JCDecaux, Pacific Brands, MediaBrands Australia, McDonalds Australia, Nestle Australia, L’Oreal (Ralph Lauren, Giorgio Armani, Lancome, Diesel, Stella, YSL) Shangri-La Hotels, ABSOLUT Vodka, Toyota, Diageo, Coca-Cola, VISA, KFC, Posse.com, Fairfax Digital (RSVP.com.au and Stayz.com.au), MySpace, IGN.com and AskMen.com
I see creative solutions quickly, am hands-on (can design and build), and can learn at speed. I always design with usability at the forefront of the design, and always develop with the designer in mind. I think from the perspective of the end user, always ensuring that the information can be obtained by the user as quickly as possible. I have a massive interest in the future development of the web. I love the internet. I love pixel perfect.
I love technology.
What tools do I use?
- Photoshop CS5.5 for design
- Coda for WordPress Development
- Aptana for large scale development projects
- Balsamiq for wireframing
- SVN or GIT for version control
- MAC or PC
Information about “me”
I’m a massive music lover, and enjoy playing guitar and making music. I love watching tv shows in bulk (currently loving anything created by AMC). My guilty (some might say obsessive) pleasure is watching home improvement shows such as Location, Location, Location, or A Place in the Sun. I’m into everything Apple does, and into everything tech and everything related to great “creative” work. I believe in karma. I’m into drinking coffee in Bondi, and enjoy going to the gym most days.
