The Arctic Flea

The Arctic Flea is actually a chap called André Mansi. He's been working in web and new media since the days when HTML was a way of structuring text documents, and CD-ROMs were a new fangled thing. He is currently working at the University of Reading as an 'eLearning and Multimedia Specialist', and also produces websites and the likes alongside creative companions such as Geoff Banks and Urban Cow.

André ensures that the sites he delivers to clients comply with accessibility standards, and has actually found that this has made designing sites a more fluid, exciting activity.

In his spare time André likes to plan how to spend his lottery win (when it inevitably happens) and loves chatting over new concepts and ideas with friends.
