What's this all about?

Me and my boy Sam at my brothers wedding

Creative fauna is the portfolio of Matthew Baily, a British chap and web professional living and working in the East Bay, CA. I am currently employed as the lead front end developer and one of two designers for a small Rails shop that crafts custom e-commerce and CMS backed sites.

When not in front of my Mac, I can be found on my windsurfer or training on my bike. I am Samuel's dad and Tamina's husband.

I am available for interesting freelance work and if you drop me a line, I would be happy to go over any projects you would like to discuss.
