matthew
moonshine managing director
He's a northerner and proud of that fact. He has run two marathons, drove a two hundred and fifty pound (as in money) car from Manchester to Banjul, Gambia, Africa for charity. Lived in Sydney for three years. Matt has spent nearly a decade working in londonís top agencies and finally decided to become the master of his own destiny. Spends far too much money on clothes (especially jazzy cardies!) Matt has adopted a Peter Pan attitude towards life, love and work. An expert robotic dancer, Matt will offend any dancefloor if given the chance.

andy
moonshine technology and development director
He's a northerner and started life as a humble potato farmer in the far reaches of Lancashire,but decided to 'uproot' and study spud design at Uni. After this foray into tater design he decided to seek fame and fortune in London where he heard the pavements were paved with designer King Edwards. After spending nearly a decade working for agencies around London trying to find the perfect starchy root, he decided to go to the far reaches of the earth in search of the ultimate russet. Spending a few years in Sydney he bumped into Matt, and the rest as they say is history. Oh yeah, in between all this he did spend over a decade doing print, video and web work. In which he has been involved in the development and architecture of applications and sites for clients ranging from Microsoft and Pepsi through to the likes of Disney and Ford.

james
moonshine senior designer
He's a southerner and as a teenager spent most of his time on wheels in some form or other, peaking in him playing for the England roller hockey squad. Unfortunately, this was not a way to make a living/way in the world and so James turned to his next favourite hobby, making pretty pictures. As he got bigger, this turned into what they call 'design', and he duly became what they call a 'creative designer'. A devoted south east London resident (the north is too posh for him). He has a passion for hats and neck regalia but not in a Dick van Dyke way! Matt discovered him at his final year design degree show for Goldsmithís. Then they got drunk and talked about how to design things. Fan of the music ñwill also not travel via public transport without headphones on. Having worked together for 18 months, James took flight with Matthew to begin the Moonshine revolution.

alex
moonshine senior developer
Alex is a Northerner who's made his home in the Devil's backyard; East London. An advocate of Northern Soul, he likes nothing more than getting sweaty to the uptempo beats of 60's / 70's Yankee Floorshakers. Alex met Matt and James when he worked with them at one of London's top design agencies. Here, after a brief career as a Physiotherapist, he'd worked his way up from lowly unpaid work-experience boy to become an integral member of the digital department as an Interactive Designer / Developer. He jealously watched Matt, Reecy and James build up a successful business, and after many drunken conversations in the Coffee House, he decided to jump aboard the Moonshine steam-train.

tasha
account handler
She's a Midlander. Natasha is a Brummie born and bred. She loves nothing better than a good old portion of fish, chips and curry sauce straight out the paper. But believing that all the ladies of London always wore Christian Louboutin’s, she decided that this was the life for her and hot footed it down to the bright lights of London. Natasha’s passion for great creative work has been cemented with years of working along side one of London best portrait photographers. She then bumped into Matt who convinced her that the way forward was digital. She took him quite literally and decided to become a Moonshiner.
