Jonny is a graphic designer, web developer, musician and Apple enthusiast living in Sheffield, South Yorkshire (UK). Jonny currently works at TechnoPhobia an award-winning, large creative agency based in Sheffield in the North of the UK.
Jonny specialises in creative, simply usable and attractive interfaces that adhere to the W3C standards for accessibility, xhtml and css. He has a formal background in Interactive Media and has worked in the web industry since 2001.
Jonny's involvement with the web and passion for design isn't just for work, what he does at work he tends to do at home, and he's extremely grateful that he gets paid to do stuff at work that he would do for his own enjoyment.
Jonny's work is often showcased on 'inspiration' websites, in books, and used as an example of how accessible web design can still look good. Which is nice.
