Rich McCoy's Summary
I was born in the UK and raised in the African desert by bushmen. Okay, that might be a stretch - my parents were from UK, but I did grow up shaking Kalahari sand out of my shoes. And I’m a better man for it. Something about those vast open expanses and the untamed animals has given me a wild and unlimited outlook on life.
I emerged in the interactive space in ’95, back in mother’s land, after completing a Fine Art degree in Sculpture, while making Clip Art for a multimedia company. Since then I’ve worked for some of the leading agencies in the UK, and many Fortune 100 companies globally, as an interactive Art Director/Senior Designer/Creative Director. I’ve also made a crust as an Illustrator, Photographer, Painter and Sculptor – disciplines that have immeasurably enhanced my world of pixels. It would be fair to say I’m a creative thinker who refuses to be constrained by the traditional boundaries of medium. You can thank the bushmen for that.
I love to instill honesty and humanity into my life and work, having poured my heart and soul into pretty much everything online – from banking systems to online communities, artist portfolios to political awareness campaigns, and online shopping stores selling everything from fashion brands to international hardware retailers.
