Bangers & Mash is an exciting new design firm that helped errm design my name card.
Yeah, I know it’s weird for an actor to have one, but I had it made primarily because of the workshop, thinking it would be of some use. So far, I daresay, I’ve given it out more to curious friends than people in the industry.

So the final product was :
Cool huh?
