Paul Brownsmith’s Summary

I'm a Web User Interface designer, developer and consultant who enjoys working on site designs using both Photoshop and code. I have a company, Web Standards Design Ltd and through this I get to work with a variety of companies and individuals.

I have extensive experience in internet development, both creative and technical, team leading and management, project management and planning.
