Well hello!
Name's Jon Aizlewood. I run CarbonGraffiti - a small but agile web design & digital marketing studio that helps SMEs, fellow freelancers and creative agencies drive more revenue through their digital channels.
I've been doing what I do for about 7 years now. In a corporate capacity I've: Worked with large budgets and diverse internal teams. Managed many projects and optimised thousands of keywords in multiple languages. Evangelised new methods and ideas to drive the business forward. Helped colleagues and peers think 'beyond' traditional marketing models. Designed & coded my fair share of websites, landing pages, microsites, landing pages and email campaigns, and sent many email campaigns. And that was all before lunch.
In a freelance capacity, I've honed my passion for all things web & email design to produce top-quality creative for SMEs to get results. By combining what I know from a corporate career with what I love to do, I can offer a unique skillset that truly benefits my clients. I hope to do it for you, too.
A Canuck in the UK - A little about me
To Brighton
- Spread my wings and went freelance. Became a Limited Company, trading as CarbonGraffiti Limited in September 2009, and haven't looked back since.
- Became a 1st-time Dad, welcoming my daughter into the world. She is by far the best thing to ever happen to me.

- In November 2008, made the 3-person shortlist for the Farm Freelancer of the Year award at the DiMAS (the Digital Media Awards South), a yearly event organised by Wired Sussex.
- Moved to Brighton in April 2007 to be with my beautiful wife (then fiancee). Subsequently married in Antigua. Now she's stuck with me.
From Montreal
- Learned HTML coding and design through necessity and desire. Expanded that skillset to include email template creation for clients of current employer.
- Worked at a well-known email marketing service provider, managing 6-digit marketing budgets and specializing in email and multichannel digital marketing.
- Started CarbonGraffiti.com in 2004 as a side-project and web sandbox for trying new things, designs, and experiments.
