Philistine Web Artisan

About Phil

Born in London in 1985, I have lived in Australia most of my life.

From an early age I have had a love of art & design and an obsession with the intricacies of how things work. My interest in web design started during high school, when I first delved into HTML, CSS, Perl and PHP. After high school I undertook a Bachelor of Design in Industrial Design at University of Technology, Sydney and caught the travel bug after spending six months on exchange, studying in Italy at the Politecnico di Milano. Having graduated, I took an internship with Airdesign in Mexico, finding my Italian skills very useful in learning Spanish.

Since then I have been working as a product designer for Fusedesign. Recently, my wife and I moved to Katoomba and have just celebrated the birth of our first child, Hamish.

I enjoy drawing & painting, designing & fashioning jewellery, and am also a keen rock climber.
