Hello. I currently work as an Interaction Designer for a music website called Last.fm. I completed an MA in Interaction Design at the Royal College of Art in 2006, and was then part of a User Experience team at Nokia, working for a feisty Welshman called Matt Jones. During my art college years I worked for individual clients and studios such as Airside (2003-present) and Engage (2001-2003). This work has included web design and development, graphic design for print and screen, interaction design for web, software and mobile, and interactive installations and toys. I try to have a few personal projects going in my spare time - work in progress includes a visual identity for a Sheffield-based band/studio project, Middlewood Sessions, and an occasional DJ set restricted to recently-deceased artists, titled This Is Dead Good. More recently, I have been looking at the links between open source product design and music education. After a year-long spell in rehab, the Singing Sock Puppets are in talks to make a comeback soon. I also suffer from the delusion that one day, after seven years at art college, I might form a band.
