Hello, I’m Andy and I’m a Nerd

// March 25th, 2009 // 2 Comments » // Design, General

One of those cool nerds though, at least that’s what I hope I am anyway, and this is my new blog and portfolio site.

The first blog post on any new site is always the hardest one.  It’s always tempting to simply jibber on about how I’ll use a blog and what you can expect from it just to fill up a page.  I’m going to try and stay away from that, unless I run out of things to say of course.  The truth regarding the future of this blog’s content is that I actually don’t have any firm plans for it’s future content.  What I do know is that it will be updated on at least a daily basis and I’ll try to cover anything I think you’ll find interesting.  Good and bad days at work, shiny new things I like, good and bad days at home, what I’m listening to and anything else that might catch your eye.

Anyway, here’s a little bit about me to get us started.  As you can probably guess from the blog title, I’m from Manchester, UK where I currently reside.  I’ll not be there for much longer though as in mid-April, I’m relocating with my fiancé (and our 3 dogs – who I’m sure you’ll also get to know sooner or later) down to that there London.  I’ll mainly be doing freelance and contract work in London, but I am willing to listen to full time opportunities from great companies too.

I’ve worked on the internet for over 10 years on all kinds of projects for all kinds of companies including big names like Apple, The Guardian and Christian Dior.  I like to dabble in a bit of design, a bit of development and a whole load of user experience and product development.

Outside of work I occupy my time with all manner of things from partying to cooking along with an almost obscene obsession for new music and gadgets.

I hope you’ll subscribe and of course I hope that the next time your internet needs a polish, you’ll pick up the phone and hire me!
