Ahem

***Takes deep breath***

I mainly design stuff for screens but design isn't my r'aison d'etre. I'm not chasing the dollar, I only wish to be paid my worth. I don't put my headphones on when I go to work. I'm not a geek. I keep a small circle of friends. I live clean no drugs, drink or smoke. I lay golden eggs. I need 8.5 hours sleep per night. I'm a Believer, Jesus Christ is my cornerstone. I won't tell a hater later. I also do a bi-monthly podcast about design @chirpag...phew!

Approach

My destination is the Summit.
I will create points of difference in the marketplace for my clients and produce creative which is ‘Best in Class’.

I realise digital work needs to be relevant for NOW therefore my designs are time sensitive and aware of trends. A passion to hone my craft and produce genuine creative solutions which solve problems. Creating a remarkable future for my clients.

I place the highest value on the critical thinking phase of a project. Not rushing straight to the screen but firstly gaining a full understanding of the product / service / objectives. Coming to screen with a vision already in place but not fixed.

I will invest time into ideas. I will make time to discuss new ideas which will inform future projects. I will be informed and well read in areas outside of design (cross pollinating). I will allocate weekly time to personal development / side projects in collaboration with other designers / devs.

Bio

I’m not going to tell you about the awards I’ve won or the amazing companies I’ve worked for. Here's what I will do…

What I will tell you is that I aspire to create best in class creative. I will always be up for it. I will always question my work and exhaust all possiblities before work goes live. I will be open and honest. I will add value to everything I do. I will be conciously competant. I will have fun. I will take risks when the time is right. I will deconstruct creative to deliver it in it’s purest form. No unecessaries. And finally I will do my utmost to foster a face to face relationship with you.
