About Me
I work mostly with creative businesses and specialise on technical aspects of graphic design - packaging, technical drawing, cartographics(maps), typographics, sign design & wayfinding. A great deal of my work is now FileMaker database development which I undertake for small to medium sized businesses for a wide variety of tasks. FileMaker is the ideal medium for producing corporate literature from the office environment and linking live data to online resources. I have developed applications for project management, travel bookings, events, resource management, POS, retail, plus small database applications for iPodiPhone.
Areas covered: London, Sussex, Surrey, Berkshire, Middlesex, Hampshire
