Due to my employer at Webmap making plans to move over sea’s I found myself in a position to carry on with current contacts and job leads I had already established within the company.
Being a strong believer in making the best out of any situation I decided in the short term to pursue a freelance career.
This proved to be a fruitful and educational period in my career, where I not only progressed as a designer but started to develop a greater understanding for the complete process on a personal scale.
It was during this period of freelance consulting I developed a great working relationship with the staff at Deisgn Haus.
I was immediately struck by the passionate approach they had to the work along with a personal interest in each clients needs and objectives.
So when the offer came to join the team, I was more than happy to become one of Design Haus family.

I was taken on at Webmap Ltd originally as a Senior Designer, to maintain, train and run the existing design team of two. During my time at Webmap this role developed further into Creative Lead / Project Manager.
In August 2001 I managed the implementation of newly purchased local service provider into Webmap, with the transfer of over two hundred active websites, dial-ups and email accounts. The move was a great success with minimal downtime for all clients.
The skills I established at Cintranet helped greatly with this task, which I put down as one of my biggest achievements whilst working for Webmap.
