Born in St Mary Cray. My first job and experience of computers was as Art Editor for the computing magazine "Systems International" published by IPC. After working as a freelance Children's Book illustrator and greetings card designer and looking for something more challenging than drawing teddy bears I moved into programming and worked as a Software Developer for NTOS systems, Head Software International and DPS Direct Mail before joining The Software Bureau in 2006.
