I’m a freelance art director and digital designer based in Manchester, UK.
I’ve been designing stuff (commercially) since 1995 and got into designing for the web in 1998.
I served as digital designer at NME.COM for seven years before getting the itch, working freelance and then co-founding the award-winning creative agency Stiff Rowlands (2007-2012).
Whilst at Stiff Rowlands I was lucky enough to work with some amazing clients including Clash Magazine, The Drum, Manchester International Festival, MUTV, NME and The Rolling Stones.
Since becoming freelance again in early 2012, I have had the great pleasure of redesigning the official Rolling Stones and Stones Archive websites plus some top secret projects for digital agency, Pivotal.
