A Little About Me .
My name is Ross Finn and I am a multidisciplinary designer and front-end developer. I grew up in Ireland and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in web design and development from Edinburgh Napier University. From this I have developed a passion for all things digital and I love to create for both print and digital. Keeping things simple is my main goal with a focus on typography, content and conveying the type of message you want to send.
