Who is Paul Dennis?

8th February, 2010

National Treasurer for Past Year
Council member since 2006
AGDA WA President for last 3 years
WA, VP, Treasurer and Member since 1995

Born London 1963.
Emigrated to Australia 1982.
Found Design at Curtin University. Worked every minute of every day, almost drove my girlfriend mad with my obsession. Now she's my wife with 3 fairly sane children.

Worked for Neil Turner for 4 years, great experience. Took over a couple of clients from a friend who was moving to Melbourne and started Paul Dennis Design. Always wanted a groovier business name. You know, Like Shazzam!

Keeping it small. Doesn't seem like a conscious decision, but since 1992 it has been Me with the odd freelancer and a short spell as an employer of one.

No Mobile phone. If I'm out. I'm out.

Why Treasurer?
Because AGDA is growing. We have a solid council generating some great ideas and working hard to bring them to fruition and I want to help steer that and keep it on track so that we can all benefit.

We want to be informed, inspired and sometimes guided. And we want the community to understand the value of what we do. AGDA has some great programs, awards, conferences and events and we're always working on improving those.

So now, it's not so much about what we can do for members.
We've moved beyond that.
I think AGDA is now about what we can all do for our profession together.

Join and engage.
