I am a British creative living in San Francisco. My first design opportunities came in 1996 whilst living in Southampton, UK designing flyers for local club nights. Around 1998, I moved to Bristol and became involved in design work for the local skateboarding and music scenes whilst continuing to design flyers for regular London events.

In 2000, I moved to London and took on the role of Head Designer for a fast-paced music company where I gained invaluable experience working on a large variety of web and print projects. After four years of dedication I left to launch Science Skateboards, a skateboard brand centered on creativity.

I personally produced the majority of the brands creative output between the years of 2006 and 2020. Mostly photography, video, graphic design, illustration, editing, and website design whilst working closely with numerous established and up coming creatives mostly on collaborative skateboard graphics.
