me

Hello, my name is Ted and I'm a Swiss-American designer looking for work in London.

My design career began early, like many. With an art teacher for a grandmother, I cultivated my fine arts skills as a child until I discovered Photoshop and Flash in my teens - a dangerous cocktail indeed. I wound up at Rochester Institute of Technology where I was schooled in all things interactive design, motion graphics, and 3D, worked my way to a degree in New Media Design and set off for a job.

After college I found myself at SilverTech, a small web development studio in New Hampshire - probably the last state I'd ever think of moving to. All that aside, it turned out to be a lovely place and it was an amazing experience: for over a year of nearly two years there, I was the only designer. This meant that I was able to get my hands on essentially every single project and I was given a great amount of freedom.

Eventually, it came time to move on, perhaps to a larger city with a strong design community. So, I left SilverTech and New Hampshire, took a bus from Upstate New York all the way to Hollywood, fell in love, drove along the entire east coast to Key West, drove back up and spent some time in Canada, returned home to freelance, and moved to London.

Here I am again, this time with quite a bit of experience under my belt. I'm very excited for the journey ahead, wherever it takes me.
