Welcome
Ex Indie Rockstar, into sharing what I'm passionate about: technology, the web, the environment, inspiring ideas and the democratisation of them all.
I'm not a fan of jargon and try not to use it, but sometimes it's a quick way of getting ideas across, so…
What am I?
- A digital trouble shooter… Offering ideas and solutions to niggling problems
- An Ideas man… I'd happily sit around all day coming up with crazy and plausible ideas
- A connection maker and lover of finding out who and what is out there and joining the dots… And I'm always happy to introduce you
- Passionate…
What do I believe in?
- I believe in talking to people, clarity and making complex concepts simple
- I believe in spreading the word on good technologies, techniques and examples
- I like to try to help as much as possible, I do also like to be paid for what I do, but won't rip you off and will give you good value
- I like to try and contribute resources and ideas back to the foundations and developers behind the software I use.
What do I do?
I have knowledge, experience and expertise in print, digital, online and business operations, especially in not-for-profit, community and activist circles. Things like graphic design, web design, web development, mobile development, book publishing and setting up systems and processes that work for you.
Why on earth do you call yourself 'Chris Chinchilla'?
Hmm, yes it does sound rather silly doesn't it! It's a nickname I've had for over 12 years after a passing comment at school, I've carried it through all my fanzine and music years and quite like it. For those who are interested, a Chinchilla is a small (and very cute) South American rodent (And also a small town in Queensland, Australia) and is a real name in South America.
For those who are really interested, my real name is Chris Ward… Very dull.
