I'm from Sheffield, UK now living in Athens, Greece and I've been a website designer for the last 15 years. I work freelance and the flexible schedule allows me to do various other things including illustration, writing, activism and volunteering.

I became interested in permaculture as a natural coming together of diverse interests in gardening, agriculture, sustainable development, autonomy, appropriate technology, buddhism and holistic thinking. I like the elegant inter-connectedness of existence, and permaculture appeals to me as a creative, dynamic evolution of human living.

At the moment I'm attempting to apply permaculture principles to designing the (harsh) environment of an urban, 5th floor balcony, and becoming involved in local projects in Athens. I'm very interested in taking a Permaculture Design course, do some long-term volunteering and hope to (gradually) make big changes in my lifestyle at some point, either in the city or somewhere else.
