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. I've been involved in the creative technology field for over 10 years now, with a specific focus on learning and finding creative and innovative ways to present information. At this stage, I have worked with a wide range of clients, ranging from small independent brands to large national organisations like the NHS and my work has been featured by 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.
What I can help with:
The Basics
Design Theory
Software Insight and Usage
Graphic Design
Brand Design
Web Design / Development
Adobe After Effects / Photoshop / Illustrator
3D Software - expert in Blender
Augmented Reality
Industry Knowledge

While I had to cancel early due to life getting in the way, I can say nothing but praise when it comes to Callan. I was struggling on a very fundamental level with basics, such as research and work organization. It sounds almost silly when I say I didn't even know how to start a design project, but Callan was extremely understanding and knew how to help me. Even a few weeks of working on basics has went a long way in making me feel more confident about even attempting to design something. I was also supplied with a lot of personalized .pdfs to provide feedback and explain some of the concepts. I genuinely believe you cannot go wrong with Callan - I would give 7 stars if I could. Again, I had to cancel prematurely for now, but I know I'll be back someday! Thank you Callan!

Responsive, knowledgeable, and easy going. Callan has a great understanding of a wide range of design practices and how they work together. After a few months of mentorship I feel like I have a solid foundation in the basics of front end web design, graphic design, and 3D modeling, which is far better than I would have done on my own watching tutorials!

Over the last few weeks Callan has become a valuable source of information and guidance for me. From discussing career goals to offering his experience in graphic design, web development and 3D modeling, he is extremely insightful and responsive!
