More about me

I am a strong willed and opinionated person who will take an active role in the development of ideas and projects, though I try to be relativistic in my point of view and take on the thoughts of others. I'm not afraid to state my views during the process of development. I'm commited and hardworking and pride myself in a job well done. I like a challenge and to do things I've not seen done before. I'm interested in how computers and digital technologies can be used in new and interesting ways. I don't mind getting my hands 'dirty' in the process of my job, and will do as much as is possible to make it happen. I'm not so keen on writing and editing, so tend to be a little bit lazy about it at times, though I'm trying to improve.

PostEverything

Responsible for the ideas and architecture behind the website, the design and implementation of it. Features developed for PostEverything include the content management system, order processing system and tools for physical and digital media sales.

SHOWstudio

Since joining SHOWstudio, working with their design and editorial team, I've taken the website from a flat, sprawling, hand crafted HTML site to one which is powered by my content management system and provides flexible ways of publishing information for the dynamic range of projects SHOWstudio carry out. Latest additions include modules to handle advertising, integration of live webcams into a content managed environment, integration of managed content into Flash, and the integration of blog comments and forums in a threaded manner. I've also worked on numerous projects throughout the years including live audio and video webcasts, 'live' timelapse video, live voicemail publication, chat room development, mobile phone publishing systems, kiosks and installations.

Somewhere

Responsible for architecture, design and implementation of this website I've empowered the artists with self-publishing tools to manage the scope of their projects allowing them to focus on their work, not maintaining the details of a constantly growing website. Features included in the site development allow them to use it directly as a tool for presenting work at lectures and conferences, rather than creating new presentations each time.

Currently in the first phase the site and contents will develop to embrace the changing requirements of Grizedale Arts as they develop there new strategy and site, Lawson Park, throughout 2007.

Dorian Moore

Originally designed and built by me in 2000 as a place to profile myself, my work, my thoughts, and fragments of my life I built my own website on top of the CMS I then applied elsewhere. I use my site as a testing ground for new ideas as well, though I don't have nearly enough time to do this as I would like.
