Information about Greyed Design's lead developer

Photograph of Scott taken in Oct 2008

Scott is a 29 year old developer and designer. Born in south London, he has lived all over the UK.

He started dabbling in the web development industry in his late teens, creating basic web sites for friends, colleagues etc, but never got serious about it until 2003 when he realised that he was never going to be happy in his "normal" job, and decided to do something he enjoyed instead. He went freelance in the latter part of 2006, and enjoyed some success.

Scott is obsessed with accessibility and usability issues in relation to web design, and can usually be found with his head stuck in one white paper or another, boning up on the latest guidelines or laws. He can quote most of the W3C guidelines and recommendations in relation to accessibility without any apparent effort! (We know, it's really rather geeky, but he doesn't seem to care!)

He tends to stay away from the graphical side of things as much as possible, because in his own words he's "got about as much artistic talent as a matchstick". If given a task or a brief, he can create the graphic easily enough, but coming up with the graphical ideas is certainly not his strong point!

Links to some of Scott's favourite sites are below, with a brief explanation of why he likes them.
