CSS Princess

18/05/2008

Huge thanks to CSS Princess for featuring this site. CSS princess is a showcase site devoted to supporting and showcasing female designers working within the web design industry. There's some fantastic work in the archives, and I'm delighted to be featured alongside such inspirational talent.

Happy New Year!

09/03/2008

Only a couple of months late, but happy 2008! I come bearing out-of-date-updates to the Illustration and Interactive sections: some interface concepts for a science e-learning product, and my animated gift icons for Xanga. Updates have been a bit scarce, because I've been insanely busy with work. I'm currently working on some interesting projects with the lovely team at PixelSoup, over in Dublin's Digital Hub.

Illustration Updates

04/06/2007

I've added a couple of Personal Work pieces to the Illustration section of the site: some uber-cutesy pastel cupcakes (mmm!), and an illustration of Tamesis, the goddess that (it's believed) the Thames was named after. The latter is part of a larger personal project I'm working on - more to be revealed soon!

The Blog

19/04/2007

I'll be regularly adding new posts to my creative blog, over at blog.piemash.com. These are usually just personal pieces that aren't portfolio-worthy, inspirational links, and random creatively-focused blather.

Welcome to the Site

08/04/2007

Well, I've finally got this thing finished and launched and, after some dexterous code-wrangling, it's fully css/xhtml validated. The entire site is run with the excellent Expression Engine content management system, which I've transferred to from Wordpress and am loving so far. Click on the links on the left side of the page to browse through my work, and feel free to drop me a line if you see anything amiss in your particular platform/browser configuration - I'd appreciate it!
