Alan’s design career began in the UK in the nineties. He spent eight years working for IPC Media (now TI Media), where he helped launch the home interest title ‘Homes & Ideas’. He then freelanced for various magazine publishers in London for a further two years before hopping the pond to Atlanta in 2004.
