Experience:

Started my design career in London during the eighties, where I worked for major high street brands such as House of Fraser and John Lewis. In 2000, I returned to Devon and started my own design agency. Working with a wide range of leisure and retail companies both locally and nationally as the head of my own company has been a hugely rewarding challenge.

Being based in Devon gives us the opportunity to work with some of the leading businesses in the region and develop long-term professional relationships.

Seeing good design help clients project come to life and make people smile – I never get tired of that.

My daughters call me a Merman because I am in the sea all year round. Mainly open water (wild) swimming and body boarding, but I also enjoy a days fishing.

Experience:

I was thrown in at the deep end and tasked with building a software consultancy practice in 1995. It was hard work but I loved it and, after a few years of coasting, I had stumbled on something that I was good at. This period turned out to be a monumental time in tech and I was lucky enough to experience dotcom mania first hand (and witness the crash). I then went out on my own and started a tech remote managed services company. My company grew fairly quickly, going from two to over 60 staff in five years, and it built up a considerable corporate client base. It was eventually acquired by a PLC tech services company. Seeing first-hand how technology adoption has changed big-business, was fascinating. It’s now interesting to see the adoption curve playout longer term, as smaller enterprises integrate tech. I have always been fascinated by enterprise innovation.

I am a keen cyclist, with a reputation for being first going up hills and last going down.
