Hello.
I have always tried to keep my personal love for art separate to my graphic design business, although I have recently realised that they are the same thing.
I am Crushed Lime. I am a graphic and web designer by trade, but I am also an art lover, a curious traveller, a creative explorer and an occasional story teller. Here you will find a mix of all the things I enjoy, as I don’t see the point of trying to separate my ‘work’ from passion - they mean the same thing to me!
Professional services that I offer to the public include:
Website Design including domain name registration and web hosting setup
Graphic Design including various business branding and online / printed advertising content
