Freelance
- Freelance — design & front-end2012 – Jan 2018
Six years of taking whatever work would have me — small sites, small budgets, big lessons. Self-taught everything; no one was watching.
Beginnings

Learning the alphabet of the work, slowly, in a small office that smelled of coffee and toner.
Tokyo

- ↳ seconded to Dentsu Inc.Feb 2019 – Apr 2022
- Dentsu Digital Inc.Apr 2023 – Sep 2024
Six years of long commutes, longer briefs, and a kind of patience I didn't know I had.
Home again

Trying to remember why I'd left, and what I'd brought back with me.
And again
