About me

Hi! Aled here, and I'm a designer/developer from Cardiff, Wales. Sylw1 is my personal portfolio. bird? plane? superman?

I got into all this interactive media malarkey when I got a computer and access to the internet in '98. I was instantly hooked, and taught myself to build websites. Since then I've learnt various aspects of design and development, but never had much opportunity to gain any real experience. The course gave me the industry experience I needed.

I'm now working at Cube Interactive, an interactive media company that specialises in delivering solutions for companies in the traditional television sector.

Personal projects in the pipeline at the moment include re-launching Rhithfro.com3, a Welsh-language portal that I started years ago; and a brand new website intended to connect unsigned bands with a wider, global audience.

This website is valid XHTML 1.1 and CSS.

1 Sylw is Welsh for attention.

2 Rhithfro is a recently coined Welsh term for a virtual community
