Chameleon Design began around 1988 as the name of my freelance business. I chose the name whilst studying Illustration and Graphic Design at Edinburgh College of Art. The name 'Chameleon' suited the nature of the business, with its association to colour, vision and being adaptable to changes, but I chose the name mainly because I'm a huge fan of the band 'The Chameleons'.

I've always loved art and enjoy working in different mediums such as illustration, graphic design, photography, digital imaging and painting. I sometimes even do porcelain sculptures. Since 1996 my work has mainly been in website design where I try to apply my artistic eye to create aesthetically pleasing as well as functional websites.

My first website chameleon-arts.com was launched in 1996 and 11 years later it is still going strong. Chameleon-Arts.com is a showcase site feauturing artist's work from a wide range of disciplines such as Painting, Illustration, Photography etc..

It is an on-line gallery and a permanent exhibition which hosts the work of a number of professional artists who can exhibit and sell their work on-line and/or accept commissions.

This site, chameleon-design.co.uk, features entirely my own back-folio of work and current projects.

As well as working for a number of clients, I have designed and manage a number of my own websites.

Edinburgh-Royamile.com was launched in October 2005.
Then Chameleon Design was later commission to design a similar website for The George Street Association - Edinburghgeorgestreet.co.uk was launched in December 2006.

The-Grassmarket.com was set up as a springboard into Edinburgh-Royalmile.com but is now a separate site which connects seamlessly to the Royal Mile site which in turn link to Princes-Street.com and to Edinburghgeorgestreet.co.uk. Linking Edinburgh's Old and New Towns. This means that everything within a large section of Edinburgh's City Centre is accessible on-line and all businesses can partcipate by buying low cost links directly to their own websites.

Later I was commissioned to design a similar site for London's prestigeous Beauchamp Place in south Kensington. Most recently I have designed a site for another Edinburgh Association, Bruntsfield Place.

As the above sites involved taking a lot of photographs, which I love, I recently launched EDINBURGH-PHOTOS.COM to showcase the best of these and photos from all over Edinburgh.

All these sites will continue to grow and evolve over time and I hope you will enjoy browsing through them and the other work shown here.
