I care about you as a client and about doing right by you, your customers and your business. I know how hard it can be to start and grow a business because I’ve done it before!

Passion for my craft
Trained in traditional Graphic Design and Advertising, studying Design, Multimedia & Graphics degree at the University of Sunderland, I always had a passion for ideas and design.
I self-taught myself code and loved building computers – a self-confessed total geek! – I started my career journey as a Web Designer in 2008.
Since then I’ve honed my skills as a Web Developer, training with Google in London and one of very few labelled a Google-accredited Mobile Sites Web Developer.
In over 15 years of working with clients, either in an agency setting or in my own business, Blueocto I ran for over 9 years, I’ve gleaned a ton of knowledge and skills – not just in Development, but Digital Marketing, SEO, Analytics and Business.
I love working with clients to generate fresh ideas, thinking out-of-the-box, educate and train, sharing my knowledge in webinars and in-person events.
I enjoy meeting new people and connecting businesses – you can connect with me on LinkedIn.
