Writing And Editing
Nine years experience as a national level journalist and editor. I have been a regular freelance contributor to the Daily Telegraph, The Big Issue and numerous Internet and home computing magazines. I spent two years as Online Editor for .net magazine, the UK's best selling Internet magazine.

I also founded, publish and edit spikemagazine.com, one of the UK's first online literary magazines. Spikemagazine.com has in excess of one million page views per year and is regularly compared to Salon.com and Microsoft's Slate.com for its quality of content.

I am currently available for commission for freelance writing work.

Website Project Management and Design
I have five years experience as a web designer and project manager. I have worked full time for Vodafone UK and Future Publishing, conceiving, directing and creating high-profile websites.

I have also produced numerous websites on a freelance basis and am currently available for commission. I specialise in creating websites and analysing existing websites to identify effective ways to improve their effectiveness.
