From as far back as I can remember I’ve always had a love for art and design. From my very first paint set, to copying pictures of my favourite cartoon characters, to my art and design GCSE and A-Level. I’ve always loved drawing and painting, creating something that made people go “wow”, from a very young age I got a buzz from people being impressed with what I had created.
Along with art and design I’ve always had a love for computers and gadgets and being a practical sort of chap when it came to choosing a degree decided to do IT and media rather than art and design; mainly because I wanted to earn loads of money as opposed to being a broke artist. My love for drawing and painting took on a different shape whilst at university; I was introduced to various software packages such as Macromedia Dreamweaver and Photoshop and was instantly hooked. Since then (sometime around 2001/2002) I’ve worked hard to perfect my craft.
In 2007 I set up my own web site Retro Edge™ www.retroedgewebdesign.co.uk, primarily to showcase my increasing portfolio of work but also with the aim of gaining employment in the web design industry. As Retro Edge™ has grown I’ve had the pleasure of working with a number of businesses and professionals.
