About
Stuff
Hello, my name is Paul Burley, I’m a designer based in Huddersfield which is conveniently sandwiched between Leeds and the sunshine capital of Manchester. Welcome to my online portfolio.
To make a rather concise biography, I was born in May 1980, when ‘The Theme from M*A*S*H (Suicide Is Painless)’ was a number one hit in the UK charts and on the very day the best-selling arcade game of all time was released. That’s reassuring to know, isn’t it?
Since then, I’ve spent a significant amount of time obsessing about all things design, which is fortunate as it seems to be my career path of choice.
