About Martin
My name is Martin. I reside not in the anonymous digital ether, but in my conservatory-come-bedroom (yes really!) in Nottingham, UK.
This is my blog where I’ll document some of my creative persuits.
I’m a graduate of BSc Multimedia and MSc Marketing and I’m currently a web designer in Nottingham for a gadget retailer. I also like to take on my own projects as well as freelance work.
I also love strategy and I have a customer perspective gained from studying marketing; I’m quite academic when it comes to that stuff – I love it and am very passionate about innovative strategy and approaches to business which champion a genuine customer interest.
When it comes to web design, I’m friendly, and I like working with others and understanding what they need to communicate via their website’s design. I like to design front-end interfaces and ‘brand identity’.
I like to pay close attention to SEO and usability as well as lightweight code.
I also enjoy photography; I like designing and photographing stuff that’s rough and industrial-looking, but I like to see good use of white space in clean design too.
There are things I’m passionate about — biscuits for example, but also Krav Maga, and the words of thinkers and writers Tim Harford, Nigel Piercy, and Michael Porter.
Anyway, I have been Martin, and this is MartinBlueprint.co.uk. Word.
