About

Hello & welcome.
I'm Luke, a curious nature & positivity lover from Hull, England. 

After graduating from Coventry University (Graphic Design, BA) in 2003,
I worked for a couple of years before taking a year out to travel around Australia - which was amazing.

I joined AE Live as a Graphics Operator in 2007 - a title I held for 9.5 years.
Many amazing adventures followed as I played a part
in providing graphics for televised live sports around the World.

6 years in the design team followed, where I learned & enjoyed so much.
The connection between between maths and design is a constant pursuit,
which continues to amaze & enlighten. 

Since becoming freelance in 2022, I've developed non-broadcast graphic skills,
such as Photography, Video Editing & Production.

As well as loving design and nature, I also enjoy learning about how things work.
This has led to personal growth and a closer connection to people, animals, plants & The Earth.
Nature is awe-inspiring! 

We are all on our own journeys in life, made more enriching by listening, living & sharing without fear.

It's always great to meet people and learn about their journey.
Give me a shout: my email & social media accounts linked on this page (scroll up or down).

What do you love?
What bothers you?
What have you tried?
What ideas do you have?

There are so many positive things we can all experience and achieve.
Let's help each other and go for it!

Looking forward to hearing from you 🙌
💚 Love, Luke

Nature   

I love documenting nature; creatures of all shapes and sizes. Our amazing Earth.
Throwing food for animals on my daily jog brings me much joy & brings a few dozen birds & a few squirrels a free meal.

I was moved after witnessing the Full Solar Eclipse of 2024 from an interesting place within the Path of Totality:
The Grassy Knoll, Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas, USA.

I recommend viewing a Full Solar Eclipse, and Sun-gazing in general 🌞

Nature is amazing. Nature is healing and uplifting.
Let's get out into nature and experience its wonders!
