RICK HARTLEY Web Designer

Rick, our resident "northern monkey" joined 3rd time media and London's east end in April 2011 from the wilds of Manchester. Much like his simian counterparts, when Rick isn't picking the fleas off David the Creative Director, he can be found trying to figure out complex online puzzles with the use of tools he has mastered such as the Adobe creative suite.

Call me Mr Swagger

Beginning his journey from primate to fully fledged digital designer, Rick walked away from university with a head start in multimedia design and cut his teeth with some industry leading brands in retail ecommerce, online hosting and award winning news portals. It was here Rick honed his skills in designing for direct response marketing and learned the importance of simple, useable yet attractive online design.

Rick's mild mannered nature and dedicated work-ethic (give him a banana or a gingerbread latte and he'll do anything) mean he has been welcomed with open arms by not only 3TM but also has a great rapport with the clients and the 3tm receptionists. His swagger is commonly mis-represented as a link to other northern ape-like creatures such as Ian Brown but actually is down to a "dicky hip"

Rick adopts characteristics of both his "alledged" look-alike Sir Alan and northern monkey cousins, combining to form his work hard - play hard ethic. An extremely social animal, after a week of dedication and hard work for 3rd-time media he likes to swing on down and explore the nightlife, gigs and markets of London. Reporting back to his northern kinsmen, Rick likes to point out that his new penchant for yoga, tight jeans and moisturiser is not his fault but more of a requirement for moving to the south.
