Who exactly is

Paul

Huxen?

Why, he's a designer that lives over in East London…

…who has 3.75 years worth of experience as a designer and have experience in web & print design as well as typeface creation. The chart below shows the applications and skills I use the most all wrapped up in a easy to digest visual format.

Adobe Photoshop CS4

Ah, good 'ol Photoshop. When I'm not letting it eat all my RAM I'm usually making a multitude of icons, and various other bits and pieces that make a website look magic.

Adobe Illustrator CS4

Im forever using this to create icons, pixel versions of myself and other useful bits and bobs I use in my projects.

Web code

CSS3, HTML5, JQuery are all my friends here. Well most of the time.
