about me

profile

My name is Simon Jarvis, I was born in Cambridge, England and grew up in a town called Bishops Stortford in Hertfordshire. I am now located in Great Yarmouth, England when at home and Plymouth While studying.

It wasn't until after my sixth-form education that I began experimenting with web and graphic deisgn during my spare time, I soon realised that I'd fallen in love with design and develelopment. So I began to teach myself the craft and have never looked back.

Through volunteer work for a gaming news and community site that I used to frequent I gained some professional connections in the design industry. I helped co-found a design collective with the connections I had made and am extremely grateful to be working with other like minded & talented individuals at Visonata.

I am now at university in Plymouth studying Internet Design. In an effort to secure my place in the industry and further my career.
