After an arts degree I worked in IT support for a while before wanting to get back to something a bit more creative, completed a part time MA in 'Interactive Art and Design', during which I was introduced to Drupal as well as doing a lot of ux projects involving flash and electronics, then continued self employment as a PHP web developer.
Since then I have come back to Drupal and now specialise in building Drupal web applications within the charity and education sector.
