2008 – 2009 — Where I was lead designer for a year, 2008 to 2009 — a design agency in Huddersfield. My boss, Dave Pannell, is who I later roped into Novl Cuisine.

2008 – 2010 — The creative partnership James Sheriff and I started in 2008 while we still had proper jobs. Wet behind the ears, a bit shit at it, but we made some cool stuff. → See it on the Wayback Machine

2004 — The first website I ever built — in Dreamweaver, aged 15, for the American football team I played for. Where all of this started. → The original, via the Wayback Machine

The actual guide my AI uses to write like me. Everything on this site runs through it — except the Writing section, which I write myself.
