]]> I’m going freelance http://blog.iampaddy.com/2012/02/22/going-freelance/ Wed, 22 Feb 2012 09:43:59 +0000 http://blog.iampaddy.com/?p=1465

Every so often, just to keep yourself on your toes, you have to take a leap into the unknown.

After three fantastic years as a UX Designer at Nascom, I’ve decided to leave and embark on a new adventure into the big bad world of freelancing.

Since I was a kid, sketching the rabbits from Watership Down in front of the TV, I’ve always wanted to be an illustrator. Now, just like Fiver, Hazel and the others, I’m setting out on my own journey into uncharted territory.

After taking on a few illustration projects and opening my print store recently, I’ve seen that there just might be room for a little Irishman out there in the illustration world.

You can see my work at my portfolio site: lefft.com and I’m interested in all sorts of design work, not just illustration, so if you’ve got an iOS app, website, application, print project or something completely different then don’t hesitate to email me.

]]> It needs to ‘Pop’ http://blog.iampaddy.com/2010/11/01/it-needs-to-pop/ Mon, 01 Nov 2010 14:59:02 +0000 http://blog.iampaddy.com/?p=1446 An age old favourite of clients which, without fail, causes immediate groans when it innocently flutters into the inboxes of designers. Along with its siblings ‘It’s a good start’ and ‘I think we’re almost there, but…’, this phrase does nothing but drive another wedge into that gap between client and designer…

Same For You?

Episode B of Same For You features long, deep conversations about turbines and turbans, naming your devices after Russian space dogs, The Golden Girls, and a phone call to Bill Cosby, all with hilarious consequences.
