I work primarily as a web/multimedia producer. My key web skills (in fashionable parlance) are: Information Architecture, Experience Design and Search Optimisation. In terms of multimedia, I’ve been inspired by the spectacle-forming possibilites of sound, video and graphics since learning about The Factory in high school. I love film. I played in a pop-art-rock band for many years. Later I studied audio & video production and then did a 16mm film course. This led to work as a producer, editor, cameraman and tutor. Further down the road I returned to university to study the social sciences, after which i digitised my production skills with an MSc in Multimedia Technology. For the last 8 years I’ve been learning, teaching, developing and consulting on over 200 new media projects. During much of this time I’ve kept strumming stringed things and singing in a bluesy stylee. I live in scotland, I like walking on quiet beaches, sitting atop mountains, discovering glades and exploring cities. I’m passionate about the environment, a devoted Hibee, and enjoy a convivial pint or two. At the moment I work on a pan-european computer science research project called PerAda – which looks at pervasive and bio-inspired computing environments. Starting October 2010 I’ll be working on a new EU funded research project: AWARE (self-awareness in autonomic systems). I also develop The Robert Louis Stevenson Website. Parallel to all this I continue to assist people in the public, private and voluntary sectors on web/new media systems development.

If you have a web/multimedia project that requires expert input – please feel free to
drop me a line.
