Welcome Guest to vivilanco.com. My name is Ian Wheeler and I’m a designer from Stourbridge, (west of Birmingham). vivilanco.com is both my portfolio and playground… More about me below…

I am currently available for hire so if you are in need of a confident and talented designer who specialises in the personal touch, then drop me an email via our contact us page and let us see how we can help you…

vivilanco.com is the playground of Graphic and Web Designer Ian Wheeler BA(hons) (/me waves). This site features my portfolio and blog (including tips & tricks about web design and internet related topics).

I’m a self-taught professional graphic and web designer, who has been designing and building websites since 2004.

I studied the traditional “art” route through school and college, finishing at Wolverhampton University with a BA(hons) in Animation.

Whilst at university I started freelance designing for community / online gaming websites. This then progressed to working SMEs (Small and medium enterprises) and carries on today…

Between February and December 2008 I was employed by Frooition as a Graphic Designer to provide a custom eBay design service for shop/store and eBay listings… and was able to work with many successful companies (both online (eBay and standalone ecommerce websites) and retail) including Screw fix, Topgear.co.uk and JML.

I am now currently employed fulltime with Change this Limited, a Business Improvement Partner that works with both small companies (e.g. Activeplan and healthcare estates) and large blue chip companies (e.g. Marks and Spencer, MACE and Land Securities). I work on allsorts from full Business Management Systems and ISO Business Standards to Graphic Design and Web Design for our clients. I still partake in freelance work as well as my full time employment.
