Web Designer Background History

Unlike many Web Designers who come from either a technical or graphical background, Anna Celeste Watson (BAFA) comes from a more artistic tradition.

After leaving Northbrook College of Art and Design in Worthing Sussex in 1997, she went on to study Fine Art (Painting) at Wimbledon School of Art London. Whilst studying in London her work developed into the area of Film and Video, where she produced short films and video installations for exhibition.

After graduating in 2000 Anna worked as the Video Editor for Travel TV at Teddington Studios where she edited corporate videos, broadcast programmes for Sky Television and streamed video for the web, as well as working on the company's own web site content. Having gained invaluable experience in the New Media industry, Anna learnt web design independently after attending courses and conferences in London.

Anna moved back to Sussex in 2001 to work as a Freelance Web Designer and also worked part time as a Web Designer for Fresh Egg in Worthing for 3 years. In 2005 Anna then relocated to Dorchester in Dorset to work solely as a Freelance Web Designer from her home office, and specialises in designing both creative and corporate web sites for companies throughout Dorset and the UK.

In 2008 Anna is particularly focusing on supporting more ethical businesses including those that promote cruelty-free or alternative living that benefits people, animals and/or the environment, and is currently also planning her own creative website projects.

Web Design Associates

Anna also collaborates with her Partner Stu Jones on some illustration and logo design work, and sometimes works alongside Sherborne based print design company Studio401 on relevant projects - so in turn we can offer our clients a complete range of both web and print services. Anna also works with Web Developers Mission Systems and DR Solutions to complete programming work for some of her projects including content management systems and online payment solutions.

NMA Site of the Week
  July 2004: Anna designed Funk Sunglasses under Fresh Egg Ltd, which was chosen as 'Site of the Week' in New Media Age - beating the official Visit Britain and Speedo Swimming sites.
"Anna's individual flair and meticulous eye for detail are truly inspiring. Effortlessly comprehending challenging briefs, always producing engaging and intuitive work - often within ludicrous restraints. One of the most talented people I have come across, her honest passion and level-headed approach makes her a designer that is a rare pleasure to work with. Comes with my strongest recommendation."
