Matt Fairbrass

Matt Fairbrass
Web designer, graphic designer & self confessed perfectionist.

My name is Matthew Fairbrass and I create things that look pretty for a living. By definition that means I am a designer, and ever since I was able to grasp a pencil I have been fascinated with creating things. It is this childhood fascination which has led me into this field, and I absolutely love it.

At present I am at the University of Kent located in the lovely city of Canterbury, United Kingdom – finishing the final year of my degree in web computing.

So… what is ‘A Place For My Head’?

Art is a window into the soul of its creator, and likewise this website is a window into my creative mindset, a place to showcase my latest designs and projects or as it is titled this website is ‘a place for my head’.
