I was first introduced to Macintosh computers when I joined The Graphics Factory for the summer of 1986. Although a graphic design student at the time, I was one of the first people in the UK to take full advantage of the "desktop" revolution. Since then I have always been enthusiastic about computer technology. I was keen to pass my knowledge on to others and so my involvement with software training began.
Since then, the design and software training aspects of my career have been very closely linked. This puts me in the very rare position of being able to explain to people on training courses how I use these applications on a daily basis as well as being able to show examples of work I have produced with them.
The work that I have been involved in has encompassed most aspects of graphic design and typography, the use of computer technology in design and training, and the development, implementation and delivery of software training courses.
I have an intimate knowledge of the design, prepress and printing industries and their associated software.
I am also highly proficient in the use of animation, video-editing, DVD authoring and web site creation software.
I have expertise in a wide range of creative software packages on both Macs and PCs.
I conceive, design, write and deliver bespoke training courses.
I am effective at training people of all abilities and skill levels in the use of computer technology.
