Kristjana's 10 years of experience in business consultancy and as a business analyst make her the ideal candidate to head up our business and project development.
Hobbies and Passions
Away from the day job, Kristjana likes to chill on the beach and has little time for "tube morons". So that's 90 percent of London's citizens discounted then. Her thought for the day? "Attention to dutail is key." Oops!

An experienced all-rounder, Martin's skills include user interface design, usability and accessibility, ColdFusion, JavaScript and CSS.

Hobbies and Passions
With a passion for drawing and an interest in Late Roman and Migration Period history and archaeology, Philip is often perceived as a culture vulture. The fact that he likes to photograph street graphics and deliver lectures at the University on the Arts might even support this view. We, however, know the truth.

Position to fill
this could be you!

Rob's eight years' experience, combined with his Spock-like logic and empathy for users, give him the perfect mix of information architecture (IA) skills. He says: "The more you do, the more you realise that 80 per cent of IA is keeping it simple." But Rob’s no simpleton. He always comes up with truly engaging and usable IA.
Hobbies and Passions
Geek tech aside, Rob's passions include Japanese action figures and his griddle pan – classy! If he's not working on your search function, he'll be catching up with the latest New Scientist, zapping a few aliens or stealing a cheeky kip on his commute to Brighton.
Roberto Marras
Visual & Interaction Design
With a BA degree in Digital Media Production, Roberto has exceptional knowledge of designing and programming for digital media
His studies and interest have given him excellent knowledge of design and programming techniques for web and other digital media that he has put in practice working on client projects. Roberto loves Italian suits (don’t ask whether he wears them to work though), and dislikes ‘people who try too hard’. When asked for a statement to summarise his philosophy to work, he says ‘Meet the brief; break the mould’. Nothing to do with lawyers and making jelly, we presume.

A chocoholic lover and loather of people who don’t listen (we’ll repeat that, people who don’t….), Terry’s choice comment for the day is ‘screen interaction is obvious if correctly defined’. Did you listen to that?
Unknown
