			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="text-block">
<p>ParkSlide is a video conferencing system, owned and built by some of the coolest guys around. Originally designed around social networking, ParkSlide has since headed in an enterprise (money-making) direction. Thanks to overly complicated systems and software, video conferencing has never quite lived up to the hype. With ParkSlide, we&rsquo;re going to change that.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="text-block">
<p>A concept that&#8217;s sure to please the television networks, myTVR allows you to record television to a remote storage system, which you can then watch anywhere you can access the internet. One of my favourite projects to work on, I was responsible for handling all of the design work, including branding, print, web and mobile interface design.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Action game for Apple iPhone]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="text-block">
<p>Asteroid Rage is an awesome arcade style shooting game for iPhone and iPod Touch. I did all the artwork and sound editing for the game, including logos, icons, backgrounds, objects, sprites and interfaces, as well as layering the music and picking sound effects. I also created the accompanying website and epic promotional trailer, which has explosions. My aim was to capture the feel of old 2D shooting games, while bringing the graphics more in line with modern technology.</p>

<p>Freshtel was my first job out of university, and a great place to work. I spent 4 years at Freshtel as the in house designer, working across various media.
