Nexus Rental

My first ever job. No portfolio, no experience — so I made some up, blagged the interview, and somehow got handed the keys to a company's design. Forever grateful for it.

Nexus Rental was my first ever proper job — and I got it halfway through my HND in Interactive Media, with no portfolio and no experience to speak of.

So I made one up. Invented a portfolio, faked a load of work, and somehow still blagged my way into an interview. I ended up in a room with Justin Whitston, the bloke who owned the place. For reasons I’m still not entirely sure of, he saw something in me and gave me the job.

I’ll be forever thankful for that. It kicked off two decades of fun in the design and web world, and planted the first seed of wanting to run my own agency.

While I was there I redesigned and rebuilt their website, and did loads of internal design work I was hardly qualified to be handed the keys to. I mean that literally. I was hardly qualified.
