Max is amazing... seriously.
Quick to ingratiate himself with both the team some very senior stakeholders, Max commanded a huge amount of respect from all levels of the business, and made a huge impact in his time here.
He is talented, honest, and an absolute pleasure to work with - whether it was hitting horrible deadlines, or simply providing a fresh perspective on how we could do things. His contribution to our digital efforts is still very much alive now... to the point where we still look over our shoulders occasionally and think "what would Max have done here?"

I'm Max. A professional digital designer since 2003. Started my career working in agencies back when layouts meant tables and the first tech bubble had only just popped, then a move to the capital for a glorious decade or so of freelance and contracting.
A trip round the world, landing in Bristol for start-ups and SASS and the new world of post-lockdown opportunities. Along the way I've worked for a hugely diverse range of clients, from the very biggest multi-nationals, to fledgling enterprises, tech scale-ups and charities for good measure.
When not working I love adventures outside, be that surfing, cycling, climbing, snowboarding or hiking. I'm also rather keen on Lego, dancing, tea, and proper cider.
