Having created so many great digital experiences for our clients, we were excited at Blue Beetle to create our own product for the restaurant industry.The contactless digital menu solution replaces printed menus. It helps restaurants be more profitable by improving service, reducing costs, increasing operational efficiency and boosting revenue.With customer safety and health front of mind, menus on personal handsets with the ability to order and pay makes Redro more vital than ever.

When I was offered this job, I packed my bags and moved to Dubai; it was an opportunity I couldn't turn down.I was the second employee in the company and was responsible for both the design and development of client websites.Great experience, and gave me my courage and inspiration to set up my agency.

Headhunted from Oxford to this Swedish based, leading-edge digital company. Specialising in front-end web development and coding for client websites and applications.

With fresh out of college entrepreneurial spirit, I co-created Mindage Multimedia Design. I was designing and developing websites, animations and interactive CD-ROMs for clients in the UK.

Any pilots reading this? The animations you saw in your classroom, I probably designed them. At OAC I created courseware for pilots to learn how to fly.

My first job out of University. The web was relatively new at this point (yes, it was that long ago!).At Rednet, I was building on the creative and technical skills gained at University, designing coding and websites for Rednet clients.
