And of course my buddy Ben.
He's half my age now so I can finally keep up in a race.
live and work in Edinburgh, Scotland

to flex my creative muscle.

Over the years i have launched numerous websites. These sites have ranged in their focus from purely marketing tools, tying in with a wider campaign, to full e-commerce websites and everything in between.
Take a through a selection of projects below and get in touch if you would like to discuss the requirements for your project.
Pixel Image produce computer generated imagery and video, and were looking for a website which showcased their work in the most visually stunning way possible.
The result is a site which honours their brand whilst balancing well layered content on a backdrop of some of pixel's finest work.
Hawke & Hunter is a decadent bar, restaurant & hotel in Edinburgh. With branding and imagery that sets them apart from the competition, they required a web presence that enhanced that reputation.
The result is a website focussed on usability, ensuring a relaxed browsing experience while exhibiting just how special Hawke & Hunter is.
This project was a collaborative effort with H&A
The redesign of Black Light's website is one of the biggest projects I have been involved in and is ongoing.
I was heavily involved in the planning, design and implementation phases of the project which also included commissioning photography and re-writing the copy for the entire website.
We decided to enter the site into this year's Webby Awards.
This project was a collaborative effort with H&A
Off Piste 2009 is a Christmas and New Year Event hosted by Hawke & Hunter.
The website is a single page layout which focusses on communicating key points about the event, and presents the user with clear calls to action throughout the page.
This project was a collaborative effort with H&A
Edgewood is an exclusive property development on the outskirts of Glasgow. The marketing campaign targeted specific customers with a luxurious information pack.
The website therefore had to ooze exclusivity and luxury in an environment that flowed from page to page.
This layout is aimed at photographers interested in regularly updating their site with new work.
It focusses on showcasing the owners images in a simple and user friendly layout.
This layout will be for sale very soon
The Knight Foundation provide community grants across the United States for a variety of projects.
The key requirement for the redesign of their homepage was to present the various information streams from their website in a clear and consise layout.
This project has not yet progressed beyond a moc up.
Hayley needed a website which exhibited her work cleanly and professionally without taking any focus away from the images
The images do the talking on this website and they do it very well!
To Catch a Thief needed a website which allowed the user to quickly access the information they would be most interested in - the blog.
Myspace has become the dominant tool for advertising artists and, as a result, users have grown less interested in individual band websites and have become impatient with multi page layouts.
By keeping the blog to one page, and removing the need for an 'inner page' for each post, the site is easy to navigate and retains the user's attention. The user can access the content they want and the band have the space to advertise their current releases, shows & other media.
This project was a collaborative effort with TTHP
