I am 22 years old and have always enjoyed being creative and using computers, so it probably comes as no surprise that I decided to get into web design. I have been interested in design ever since I started my GCSEs in September 2002.

During my two years at GCSE level, I did a course in Graphics Design and a course in GNVQ Information & Communications Technology.

At the end of my two years, I decided to go on and do my A-Levels. I continued my interest in design and therefore took two-year courses in Product Design, and ICT.

By the end of June 2006, I had finished my A-Levels. I decided against going to university, so I decided to try and get straight out into the big world of work in "design".

A week after my last exam, I started voluntary work experience with top designers. This has helped me to experience life as a designer and enhance my skills.

As I want to be able to develop the best websites, I am constantly learning new web development skills and languages, including HTML and CSS; and software such as Macromedia Dreamweaver and Flash.

I am also confident in using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign for graphics design.
