Welcome to the site of Helen Davison, designer for web & print

Brown Hound is the new online identity of designer/developer Helen Davison {formerly T/A Oi-! Design}. After nearly a decade developing hard working websites and marketing strategies, I’ve shaken things up a bit – ready for the next 10 years.

Most of my earlier work was entirely Flash based, where I got the chance to develop animated projects and Flash games for CD-Roms and micro-sites. Over time, demand for that kind of work has diminished in favour of websites that are pared down, but work hard to deliver a strong call to action, build brand loyalty and increase sales.

I’m a great believer in working with like-minded people, and so I hope this site will give a flavour of my life in general and the things that interest me. Have a look around {it’s an ongoing project} to see if you think we could work well together. Get in touch if you’d like to connect and share some thoughts. Read more…

Brown Hound? Really?

The inspiration for the ‘Brown Hound’ re-branding of my business is a 13 year old Cocker x Sussex Spaniel called Sophie. She spends as much time in the office as I do – but can’t type or make tea. A typical spaniel, she’s friendly, intelligent, hard working, enthusiastic and loyal to a fault. Naturally, I have ignored some of her more anti-social habits, like rolling in fox poo.
