Awesomely Simple!
I call myself a graphic designer first and foremost, if only to impress the girls, yet I have skills and passions in many areas of computing, internet, design, usability and troubleshooting. Okay, I lied a little. I'm not passionate about troubleshooting but I seem to have a mind that's tuned to that sort of thing. The bit about impressing girls is true though. It happened once.
I have been called a simpleton and while that might sound boring, I like to make all my designs as simple, practical and logical as possible and if I manage to make them look great too then I feel I've succeeded. I'm really not a 'wow' kinda guy, but I do create stuff that works nicely and looks good. To quote Charles Mingus, "Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity".
When I'm Not Working
I'll be honest here, I love computers and the internet. I spend a good portion of my day in front of the screen, designing, researching and sometimes just mucking about. Ever since I was 10 and I was given a Sega Genesis gaming machine I've been glued to the television. Amiga's > various PCs (Windows) > MacBook Pro. Oh mighty MacBook Pro, how I fancy thee.
But, aside from the geek stuff I do allow myself to get out and about too. I like walking around, exploring and taking photos with my trustee camera phone and playing basketball. I'm definitely not an enthusiast photographer as you can see from my tools of photo taking. Music, hanging out with my mates, drinking and eating, watching movies, learning Chinese and traveling pretty much sums up the remainder of my time. However, that might all change when I get my paws on a Playstation 3.
My Style
As most of the skills and knowledge about graphic and web design I have are self-taught, it also means that my style and designs are unique. I have always been a minimalistic person and it does reflect in my designs. I also work well in collaboration works with other professionals in the graphic design field. I communicate well with clients and is able to deliver my projects on time.
