About the Business

I started out back in the 1980's working as a Senior Archaeologist with the Museum of London. As well as digging a lot of deep holes under buildings in the City of London, writing reports and contributing to several publications, I got very interested in computer graphics and programming. Back then, I used an Apple II and Pascal (programming language) to make lines and dots fly around the screen in 3D. I also learned an early version of AutoCAD on a very slow PC.

With the arrival of the colour Macintosh and Postscript in 1987, I decided to try my hand at my other long-standing passion - illustration. Combining my skills with a pencil and paint brush, I set about teaching myself Adobe Illustrator '88 and Aldus Pagemaker. I read everything I could find about graphic design and typography and eventually started trawling my portfolio around central London agencies.
