Artworks

Since 1996, way before I started working, I started to make a drawing every day, about what happened that day. It's become a daily habit to write, draw and imagine so has become part of my design process. 2025 will see the start of the 30th year of my daily visual diary drawings.

Sports

I play hockey for the local team in various positions, across Sussex and sometimes London leagues. I have been a Captain / Team Manager for 7 years, where I took a team that was finishing last every season, so it no longer finished last. With now an average of finish 6th place, our highest league finish has been 4th place. And I am very pleased to say the team has the happiest vibe, with players that fulfill other team's numbers.
