A little bit about me and what I do

My name is Elliot. I’m a designer, an illustrator, a speaker, and an author. Occasionally, I've been known to wear the ‘musician’ hat, too.

When not designing and illustrating, I often can be found writing — or travelling the world to speak at design-related events, which is rather nice. I'm the guy who wrote Sexy Web Design and the cheeky chappy who told everyone that we need to destroy 'the web 2.0 look'.

Elliot Jay Stocks is a designer with the balls to push the boundaries of design for the web. While so many others are happy to follow old conventions, Elliot makes the future conventions for others to follow.

But don’t just take Andy’s word for it; have a look through my portfolio.

In my spare time I dabble with music and record under the monicker Sourhaze. I’ve just released EP 1, and I think you should go and have a listen.
