About
Hello, I'm Callan! I'm from the UK, and I currently work as a Digital Designer at a digital forensics company at a senior level.

At this stage, I have worked with a wide range of clients, ranging from small independent brands to large national organisations like the NHS. My work has also featured on various media outlets including Channel 4 and the BBC - where I participated in a Live TV segment about Augmented Reality.
I am confident that my technical ability combined with my tutoring experience allows me to help anyone achieve their set goals and get to a level they are comfortable with, even if said person is starting with little or no skills or experience.
