I'm the new media projects officer at the Creative Industries Development Service (CIDS). I develop, commission and manage websites for CIDS and partner organisations. I produce text, photography, podcasts and video.

Our most recent project Creative Times (on-line) just went live at www.creativetimes.co.uk and we are currently building up the community of users.

I'm interested in online content (text, image, audio and video) development and encouraging intelligent user generated content.

CIDS works to support the development of the creative industries in Manchester and across the North-West. We do events, workshops, advanced business support and consultancy as well as providing information services via the quarterly trade journal Creative Times and our websites.
