My name is Dave..the end (that was my first try, I’m a bit shy and wilt away from self promotion, not good for someone who is self employed though, so I’m working on this weakness)

I made the decision 18 months ago to work for myself and stop making other people rich. What was the result, well I’m a lot happier, have more time to spend with the family and work on personal projects and now I get to choose the jobs I take.

So how’s that working out for me? Well here’s how I see it, “slow and steady wins the race”. I love designing and building effective websites that do a job. Doesn’t matter what the job is as long as afterwards I can sit down with the client and say “hey look your website is doing that job we talked about”. I think of myself as a designer and a creative person but the creativity is always steared by a pragmatic and practical approach. Yeah I here you…very conflicted but good fun too.

So anyway, I’ve been working as a designer/developer hybrid for nigh on 13 years now and I like to think I have all the experience and skills necessary to make my clients web strategies a great success. I wear a lot of different hats rather than specialising in any one field and come from the camp that believes this all-roundness combined with some strong values allows me to best serve my clients.

When I’m not working or honing my design skills I enjoy spending time with my family, going for long walks, taking photographs, scuba diving and learning new bushcraft skills.

I’m Paul Wright, aka Waggit. I prefer to be called Waggit as I think Paul is the most boring name in the world. Sorry to all other Pauls out there! I live in small village called Much Hadham in Hertfordshire England. I run a small graphic design company called Rubber Cheese.

I’m a perfectionist, a lover of football (soccer), eternal optimist and laid back

I’m passionate about design. I have been a professional in this industry for nearly 10 years. I like anything that looks nice to my eyes and makes me think. I also like randomness. I think randomness makes the world go round and keeps things interesting.

My main strengths are in branding and designing for the web. I love the way that the principles of designing for the web are always changing. Pushing the boundaries whilst creating accessible websites and pushing my web developers skills is always joyful to me! Not sure they love it as much though.

When I’m not in design mode I am usually out with my mates or my wife doing something that probably includes a couple of alcoholic beverages!
