About

I founded Helium Design in 1995 while I was working for a local record store chain. The record sleeves by design firms such as v23, Parched Art, Stylorouge and Microdot were a strong influence and I kept making compilations just so I could design the cover. In 1996 I started in the marketing department at WEA, the distribution arm of Warner Brothers Records, and at the same time decided to try my hand at designing websites.
