Digital multimedia developer
Based in Lewes in the UK's Sussex downs, I've 24 years programming experience, switching my career from commercial programming to digital multimedia in 2000 to make more use of my creative skills. Since then I've been working for Vivid Interactive in Brighton as the senior software developer, and from the start we've used Flash to create interactive teaching, learning and assessment resources both on-line and on CD-ROM.

Broad experience

We've also created corporate websites and CD-ROM's.

Good all-rounder
Coming from an artistic background, I'm skilled in photography, drawing and ceramics. Unlike many software developers, I speak the same language as creative professionals and am skilled in graphics software including Photoshop, Flash and Illustrator.
Small is beautiful
Working for a small company I have been very close to clients and have become well versed in project management. I work closely with clients to help them determine their needs and to be realistic about what’s achievable within their budgets.
