I currently live in the hills of Stroud after a 6 year stint in Bristol, 12 years in Oxford, a year circumnavigating the globe and 5 years in Northampton. Oh and the first 18 were in Derbyshire on the edge of the Peak District, hence the accent. Outside of the creative stuff I enjoy being a Dad, wildlife, gardening and relentlessly consuming podcasts on politics and comedy.

​

In my varied career I've worked for Oxfam HQ, Bristol Mental Health, St Mungos, Oxford University and photographer Ken Kirkwood, to name a few. My degree training is in graphic design (BA Hons) and I'm now freelance, taking on creative projects from redesigning outdoor spaces to mural and kids book illustrations to wedding anniversary invites.

​

I play guitar and I've been in countless bands, most notably Listing Ships who wrote 'Then Venice Sank​' which was sampled on 'Bored To Be Wild' by Sleaford Mods. I'm currently in a band called Ghost At The Feast with Paul Talbot and Ed McGregor from Bristol, and we play low-key cinematic instrumental music. My ultimate goal is to have a piece of my music immortalised in film. Anyway, check out the music section for some of the band related projects I've been involved in.

 

Drop me a line if you like my stuff and have a visual or musical creative project you'd like me to work on. Or a garden you need need help with!

​

cheers,

Mike
