Progressive design and the refinement of skills is the driving force behind my philosophy. To me the internet and its ever growing technologies symbolise evolution, progression and the future.

With the birth of Vector Animation and Broadband connection; visuals, audio and information can be combined with animation to draw the user in and offer something more than just text and image on a page. The internet can finally be visually thrilling for its users, and an exciting experience that reflects the technology it represents.
