Director Software Engineer

Richard McCoy { Digital Creative Director, Interactive Art Director & Web Designer }

Richard McCoy - a brief introduction.

“ I was born in the UK and raised in the African desert by bushmen. Okay, that might be a stretch - my parents were from

Plymouth and Banbury, but I did grow up shaking Kalahari sand out of my shoes. And like to think 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 instil 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 screwdrivers and

shipping containers.

I gravitate towards those who share the same environmental and

ethical focus I currently use to run my own business, and those

that value a practical mind with a creative perspective that

ventures way beyond the horizons of the obvious.”
