Allain was born in Sydney and lived there for more than 10 years, Canberra and Brisbane have also been home.

Before DesignLanguage, Allain was in the media industry, Breakfast radio and Production were his passions, but as anyone in the industry can attest, you have to be a jack-of-all-trades... So Allain also drove promotional vehicles, MC'ed, Base Jumped (although, it was only 2 metres!) Sold Airtime, been the Voice Over Guy and even fixed one radio stations coffee machine, which was spitting out some ugly, smelling black sludge - Anyone want a latte?

Allain now lives as close to Brisbane city without actually touching it and loves to be able to go out and fill his memory card with interesting images - Allain is also looking at creating a photo book of Southeast Queensland.

Allain loves taking photos, find out more at Flickr.

"I started DL because I couldn't get answers to questions I was asking as a small business owner. Everyone was willing to give me advice, as long as it was their way - nobody looked at how I was running the show."

Allain likes animals, but only if he can hand them back, he wants to give back to the community, by giving group's a opportunity to promote themselves.

"One way to help my local community (without getting too dirty) is by giving them the tools and resources to get their name out there."
