Web Designer in Cardiff
Just to let you know a little about my design background, I have listed a few a my achievements
Ebay | Eccomerce Web Sites
First computer business started online when I was 16, I would simply search online for closed down sports shops and buy wholesale. I would then split up the products in to individual items and resell them online. I learnt a lot about business and the power of the internet. The money made paid for my first Car and Laptop.
First Website Design
I self taught myself the basics of html and css, in order to create a website for my local sports team. I found myself enjoying the challenge of creating an online presence. Constant modifications and updates encouraged me to persue the online design route.
Brunel University Graduate
I was accepted to one of the UK’s top design courses, Brunel is world renowned for producing some great designers (for example James Dyson). I graduated from Brunel University and had learnt a range of different design skills.

I entered a 'University Dragons Den' competition - the dragons were made up of established business owners and entrepreneurs from London. The competition was open to 8 Universities. Having passed the written entry I was selected as a finalist.
I pitched my idea to the panel of dragons with 12 other contestants. I came 2nd place overall and had interest from potential investors.

Based in Pinewood studios, supporting the Avid web properties, including avid.com and the 13 international country sites. I assisted with current site updates and helped with the redesign and relaunch of the Avid sites worldwide.
Web Design relaunch in Boston, USA
Whilst working for Avid, I was the first ever intern to be selected to be flown out to Avid HQ in Boston USA. The reasons for my visit was to help meet a tight deadline for a relaunch of their new website. The whole project was estimated to be worth $500,000. I enjoyed working with other members of the international team and learnt a lot about different cultures and handeling a large scale web design project.
Online Venture
In the current economic climate I understood the importance of having business experience, this leading to me concentrating on a full time online shop business venture. I learnt a great deal from the experience such as accounting, marketing and all the other areas associated with setting up your own business. I secured an investor and slowly build up my own brand, I attended government training schemes and published a business plan. Despite the business not being as successful as I hoped - the experience has been invaluable.
Self Employed Freelance Web Designer
At this stage I noticed I was starting to slowly build up a client database, and wanted to focus on designing websites - as it was my passion.
