What I do at my desk

Who employs me:

  • Individuals who want a website
  • Print Designers who want their ideas to work on the internet
  • Small Businesses that want their existing website updated or maintained.
  • Design Studios and Agencies who want me to work in-house
  • Blue Chip international conglomerates who need my help
  • Manufacturers who need illustrations for their manuals
