George Wiscombe’s Summary

I am a graphic designer with a real passion for the web. I think on my feet, work well in a team and can consistently produce innovative design solutions.

I thrive on the challenges that the web presents, designing for non-linear experiences is a challenge that I love to get my head around. I have an excellent understanding of web standards, usability and accessibility.

I love designing for print. Layouts and materials hold no limits and the end product will always be viewed consistently. My current position has given me a wealth of knowledge in print processes and materials.

Whatever the medium, I enjoy designing the experience, how the piece will be used, explored and it’s environment.

In my spare time I am a keen blogger and love twitter (Twitter.com/Geenius545)
