My path to design hasn't been traditional by any means. I grew up in the Caribbean, moved to Florida, USA for university and now live in Manchester, UK which I call home.
Running my own business was where I first developed a passion for marketing and design.

Nice to meet you!
I've since taken everything I learned from business and brand design into my own studio. Focusing on motion systems for brands, I’ve morphed it all into a process called “Motion Brand Design.” In my view, this is the future of branding, where brand identity extends beyond static guidelines and is transformed into motion identity systems.
Fun Fact: my pup Saxon is a cavapoo from Waco, Texas!

As you can tell from the photo above my dog is a big part of things here at the studio. We are always up to something.
When I'm not designing, I like to keep active outdoors. Going for Northern hikes in the Peak District, distance inline skating, training for marathons and in short order getting into cycling.
I love music and play the alto saxophone. Plans have been made to learn the banjo this year.

Oh and last but not least, I'm a big fan of landscape photography. Canon is the camera of choice for stills at the moment (this is negotiable). There's thousands of RAW photos on my hard drive that needs to be edited.
