When I’m not designing

I’ve been a keen cyclist since I was 5 and over the past few years entering events like riding a stage of the tour de France, a 5 day race across the dolomites and riding 300 miles in a day from Manchester to London.

Alternatively I’ll be at home resting with my wife and cat.
