Kent Humphrey Web Designer, Frontend Developer

Who am I?

I am Kent Humphrey, a 31 year-old web designer from Wellington, New Zealand, and I am passionate about making the online world a more exciting and engaging place for all.

I have recently returned to Wellington, having spent 3.5 years working in London. My wife and I love to travel, and we concluded our overseas adventure with a 2 month cruise around Europe in our campervan - a Ford Transit we nicknamed Te Motowhare.
