Matt Harris’s Summary
I have over 11 years experience (yes 11 years!) in designing and developing websites, from flat HTML, back in the day, to PHP and Coldfusion along with XHTML and CSS. I have an MA in Interactive Media and whilst I don't do so much of the hands-on design and development work these days I'm director of the team at Pixelwork and keep a controlling eye over the creative direction of our work.
I've become more involved in digital and brand strategy, looking at where an organisation's digital work fits into their wider brand and marketing strategy and in doing so I've become involved in the very inception of brands from graphical creation to full on brand development which allows us greater freedom in the work and offer we can present to new and existing clients.
Why on Linked In ? I'm interested in progressing our business into all aspects of digital with an emphasis on providing sound digital strategies to like minded organisations, generating more motion graphics work (as we're really passionate about it) and working with socially responsible companies.
And finally not forgetting to have fun in the process.
