About Franklyn Jones

the letter as an undergraduate at Edinburgh University studying Neuroscience, I became fascinated by the world of the visual arts and design, and dedicated my time outside of my studies to teaching myself computer-aided design.

After getting my head around 3D Studio Max and Photoshop, I became interested in web and interactive design. Then, after my degree, I had time to learn XHTML and CSS, and I carried out a variety of freelance projects. In 2002, I joined Business Web Software (UK), a Cambridge-based web-application software developer, where I currently work as the Senior Designer.

My time as a freelancer enabled me to learn other design-orientated software such as Illustrator, Indesign, Dreamweaver and Director. I continue to teach myself new web technogies and am currently learning ASP.Net and VBScript, XML and SQL.

I also love taking photographs and traveling, both in Europe and further afield, seeking inspiration for my work and music. I currently live and work in Oslo.
