Hi, I'm Earl Walker Dursley, a multi-disciplinary designer, maker and photographer with a background spanning graphic and product design, furniture making, and hands-on craft. I combine CAD/CAM, photography, framing, and IT support to deliver practical, creative solutions, and I am keen to pursue roles that mix making, design and problem solving. In addition to formal training (A-Levels in Graphic & Product Design; HND in Furniture Design & Making), I have 17+ years in IT support, 18+ years as a photographer and 8 years as a fine art printer and picture framer. I enjoy learning new tools, expanding my craft, and I’m open to courses to grow. In my spare time I produce framed photographic fine art.
