Who is Luke Jones?
Luke Jones is the lead designer at Lost Kettle <creative>. He has a dominant right-hemisphere, hence he is drawn to artistic, emotional elements of life, and readily thinks 'outside of the box' i.e. is creative.
Hence, he naturally was fascinated as a boy when he visited the new media offices of his uncle; John Goode - the man responsible for delivery of all mobile applications at launch of network "3" (www.three.co.uk) etc., etc. - and discovered modern graphic and web design.
Even while he was a small child, Luke was making films on computers he had assembled out of parts people threw out. Meanwhile, he grew up to pursue business studies (marketing), electronic engineering, and volunteer work with the community.
Such an inspiring introduction, propelled Luke to build a broad base of IT skills spanning disciplines as varied as, for example:
- BTEC Electronics/Design (Distinction/Merit);
- City&Guilds Computer-Aided Design (Distinction);
- A-2 Level Business Studies (Marketing);
- 9 GCSEs, inc. Law;
The birth
One night, Luke scribbled out a good old SWOT analysis, and decided to accept his strengths. Thus, spurred on by the poor quality of websites he saw on a daily basis, he branched into specialist design consultancy, approaching his solid knowledge base of HTML5 (inc. CSS3), and PHP.
He is experienced with Content Management Systems (CMS) i.e. Wordpress and Joomla, as well as, platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. Luke also is skilled in the use of editing software such as Adobe's Photoshop and Premiere. He is known for a strong preference of Javascript over Flash, because of Google search engines rating implications and also compatibility issues with iPad tablets.
The name
It's all about fish . . .The phrase a "kettle of fish" comes from the days when a kettle was any pot used for boiling items . . .. . . somehow, this boiling of fish came to mean a troublesomely awkward or embarrassing situation; something challenging . . .. . . which is the situation some people find themselves facing . . . all tangled up with a frightful website which fails to market their firm well.
