About me

Ignore "Mr Serious" posing above, that’s just me trying to be all cool and professional. In reality, I’m a pasty-eating, pint-drinking, Product designer living in Cornwall, England.
Aside from being a designer, I’m also a Semi-professional shower singer, salsa dancing sensation and the world's most average sit-down comedian.

I’m infatuated by surfing, ranch dressing and like 99% of the U.K. I’m partial to a film or two. Although, I will say the only thing weaker than my knowledge of actors are my cups of tea. Other things you should know about me are that I frequently trade full stops with the return key, I often reiterate things in bizarre analogies and that I hate Russian nesting dolls… they’re just so full of themselves.
