About Me
My name is Paul Adam Davis. I’m 20. I spend my days building web sites where I’ve built and worked on sites & micro-sites for Nike Size?, Sport Academies, Sony Ericsson, Nokia, Salomon Grom Camps and more.
My Story
The story of how I got into web design is one I’m not too sure of, so I’ll skip that for now. However, the story of how I went from struggling freelancer to agency developer is a short one.
I started using Twitter in the summer of 2009, that’s where I found a tweet advertising a small agency in Folkestone who were looking for a junior developer. I applied on Twitter and shortly after got the job. I then got an email from an agency I freelanced for offering me a better job in London which I accepted in November 2009. I stayed there until January 2011 when I moved to a larger & more local agency in Maidstone but decided to leave and go back to my old job in London again. I’m playing ping pong.
One job led to another, but all stemmed from Twitter and not being afraid to ask for a job, again.
