About Me

I am a web designer/digital artist currently studying BSc Digital Art and Technology in Plymouth University. I have returned for my fourth and final year of the course following my year in an industrial placement with the web design company Neovirtua and my own freelance work.

So far I have developed a wide range of skills, from producing videos using 3D software to gaining an aptitude for learning numerous programming languages. This is all on top of my original enthusiasm for art and HTML.
