Interests:
I love reading. I like big pieces of paper, a fistful of markers, a blank whiteboard and a fast web connection. I'm a Webhead, infomaniac and Google junkie. I like jumping out of planes. I have more than one blog and use 'the internets' to teach myself new things and answer (almost) all my questions, almost. I enjoy making things with my hands, including t-shirts and small items of furniture. I dabble in guitar and photography.

Ivan Ayliffe’s Specialties:
I think hard, and different, and I never stop. Prone to flights of fancy and suspension of disbelief. I can convince people to buy things, and love it, allegedly.

Ivan Ayliffe’s Interests:
I enjoy reading and consume as many books on as many subjects as I can. I spend what spare time I can get writing beat poetry, drawing and generally anything to do with filling the white page. The Internet inspires me, so I spend time online running more than one blog and participating in online communities and forums across varied subjects. I enjoy making things with my hands, including t-shirts and small items of furniture. I like music, dabble in guitar and make a habit of expanding my music library across all genres as often as possible. I am especially interested in design across all categories, including interiors, architecture, furniture, product design, film and music design and design for the web and social networking platforms.
