About Me
Shock!
Like for many in the UK times have become rather hard, and with some
very supportive friends I have made the transition into self
employment in order to have a grasp of my own working future, it has
been a very bumpy road to get here, and a lot was required to be
learnt in a very short time span but somehow I am here for as long as
you'll have me.
For the typical background information you would expect of an 'about
me' page, I attended Nottingham Trent University in 2006 and graduated
in 2010 with a BSc in Product Design, during this time I took part in a
work placement year, at a very small start up company developing
Medical devices. And when I mean small, I mean it! A rather driven but
kind fellow, Doctor by day entrepreneur by night and my self as a
Designer took on the challenges of getting an idea to market and facing
all the unexpected problems along the path of selling that idea. It was
a very steep learning curve but I learnt an amazing amount considering
I was still a student, and I believe strongly that the experience made
me the designer I am today.
I love 'Open Source' be it hardware or software i want to know about
it, this very website was created with use of open source software,
with favorites being Inkscape, Gimp, KompoZer all running with in the
beautiful environment know as Ubuntu Linux. Open source applications
have allowed me to get Katas-Design off the ground as commerical
software is far to costly for a small start up company.
