About me
I am artistic by nature and positively quirky, with an eye for detail and accuracy, which probably borders on OCD. I have many hobbies which influence my design ideas and creative output; in particular, transportation and architecture. Specific eras also colour this interest; so a retro flavour runs through much of what I create. I love anything technical and functional design always fascinates me; I’m a big fan of the Bauhaus movement and streamline moderne. I also have a long-running fascination with pigeons, and when I was 8 years old, I came up with my own cartoon characterisation of these ubiquitous birds, which has since evolved into a series of comic strips and stories. Everything I have done thus far have been for my own personal projects and creative enjoyment. Perhaps now might be the time to try and share this with the world and possibly give my natural creative ability some practical application.

    1:400 Scale Model Airport Kit DesignSince a child I have had a fascination with aircraft and the associated airport environment. It's always been a passionate hobby of mine, but it's not just the aeroplanes themselves that have been of interest, it's the corporate identity of the airlines that operate them. In the 1970's - 1980's, the strong visual identities, which were decadent and colourful, were at their peak and design agencies such as Negus + Negus, Landor Associates, Saul Bass and Massimo Vignelli were responsible for some
