Lineman Ltd

Lineman Ltd was formed in August 2006 by Liz Wilton, to provide web design and graphic design services. With over 9 years experience and a solid graphic design background, Liz has the skills and expertise needed to create high quality websites.

Prior to founding Lineman, Liz Wilton was a Senior Interactive Designer at the BBC for 7 years and has BA(hons) in Communication Design. During this time she designed many websites for BBC Children’s Interactive, as well as leading the design process on numerous large projects.

Liz was responsible for running a team of designers and worked alongside technical and editorial counterparts to project manage many of the interactive propositions underway. This includes the launching of two sites in 2002 to coincide with the BBC’s launch of two new digital children’s channels, CBeebies and CBBC. Liz also sat regularly on a pan-BBC panel of designers to advise on usability and accessibility standards and guidelines.

To an often asked question: ‘So why Lineman?’ 

As an art student, in fact as a very small child, the first, most basic ‘mark’ you can make is a line or perhaps a dot (see Paul Klee for more on that). From there everything else grows, into more complex lines and the world is made up of those lines. We choose to interact with them every day and by doing so we create new, more interesting lines of our own.

Lineman is about creating new, intriguing lines and exploring unmarked territory, whilst interacting with these existing lines.
