Hi, I'm Neil Cox.

I am a digital producer at The Martin Agency. I have built mobile apps and celebrity website while at INM United. And before that, I traveled the world building furniture for the Department of State, among other things.

I take photos, tumble and tweet. If I didn't need Facebook for work, I'd probably close my account. If you want to talk, I'm quick to respond to emails.
