A little bit about me

Hi, and thanks for visiting my website. My name is David Owens and I am an artist and professional web producer living in Brixton, London.

Who I am

I grew up in Birmingham, living in Sutton Coldfield and going to school at King Edward VI Aston School. It was while I was there that I realised I didn’t want to have a proper job and decided to study art. I got a pretty rubbish grade for my art A level, but wasn’t too worried as I had already been offered a place on The Birmingham Institute of Art and Design Foundation Course.

In 1999 I moved to London to study fine art at Goldsmiths College. I had a great time and am still only just realising how much I learnt there. I also met a lovely bunch of people and decided to stay in London. I moved out of New Cross and over to Brixton where I have been ever since. It’s a great place to live with a real community feel. I think I’ll be here for a while.

I learned how to build websites while I was working for Current Medicine Group. I worked on a few fun projects and it was great to be able to work somewhere where I was able to constantly learn new skills. It definitely beat paying for courses myself. As well as my day job, I have started to take on a few freelance projects.

Since October 2007 I have been working at tmg. I’m really enjoying it there too. There have been some interesting challenges and it is great to have the experience I have built up recognised by my colleagues as well as clients.

About this website

I have been building websites since the year 2000. Since starting out by experimenting in my free time, I now work hard to keep up to date with the latest in web design techniques. When I build a website I try to make sure that it will display correctly on a wide range of platforms. I aim to make my websites accessible and uasable. I also try to ensure they are easily readable to search engines. This way as many people as possible can find and use them.
