about me

Hi, I'm a Bristol-based freelance designer producing work using XHTML, CSS & Flash. I like to build usable and accessible sites.

I also do identity design and a bit of illustration + a bit of video and music now and then.

contact

Hi, I've temporarily taken out the contact form to avoid spam. I'll get a more anti-spam solution up when I have a spare moment.

If anyone on Underscorer wants to contact me - post on the mailing list.

Cheers, Juan.
