About Me
Hello, I’m Abbas, a designer, coder and problem solver.
As the name clearly suggests, I’m not a pure bred Yorkshireman, but being born and raised in Sheffield and having spent a lot of my higher education years in Barnsley, I’m not far off.
By day I am a full-time designer, coder and problem solver working on a wide variety of projects for clients through the UK and Europe. By night I’m a very good footballer doing an incredibly believable impression of a very bad footballer.

If you would like to get in touch for a chat about anything, you can drop me an email at abbas@abbasarezoo.co.uk
I’m also trying a feeble attempt at running a blog, or as I like to call it, a ‘journal’. You can check it out at www.designsheffield.co.uk.
Being involved with the web for most of the day means that I’m never far away from my Twitter feed. This is me: @designsheffield – feel free to say hello.
About this Site:
I designed, agonised, coded and developed this website’s theme using HTML5, CSS3, WordPress and a dash of jQuery. If you’re interested in using my theme for your website please email me, I’m sure we can come to some sort of agreement.
Thank you for viewing my site and taking an interest in my work.
