About Me

Who Am I?

I am a digital UI/ UX Product Designer who has a passion for all things creative.

Experienced working as a sole designer, as part of a team or leading a team - having built and managed teams previously. I am very confident and experienced in communicating with a range of stakeholders; from Project Managers, Creative Directors to CEOs and am very familiar in working in an agile environment.

As you browse through my portfolio you will notice that I have worked in many sectors from creative agencies, fashion houses to retail (blue chip), healthcare, leisure and legal; working both client side and agency side. I have worked for over 70 clients to-date which is a raraity as far as contracting goes.

I have worked with some of the biggest names in retail and fashion, working on their ecommerce platforms, designing bespoke landing pages and microsites and have won huge appraisal for some of my work. A few years back I designed Hasbro’s Nerf microsite, where the CEO of Hasbro UK had my work framed and placed on the wall in her head office and commisioned the company I was working for (DunnHummby) to have my designs printed and framed. This was a huge bonus for the company which secured them further campaigns/ projects from Tesco's array of clients.

The website redesign I created for Direct Wines/ Laithwaites was a big and brave turning point for the company at the time, esspecially in how the company showcased their products and brand online. Competitors of Direct Wines (Tesco Wines & Waitrose) headhunted me directly to work on their own campaigns and websites as a result of my work. Whilst working for Tesco and, later, other retail clients, Direct Wines was always used as an example in how those companies wanted their products and clients’ creatives to stand out; they wanted the look, feel and tone of voice and user experience to be used in a similar way throughout their online and marketing collateral.

In my spare time I am a father, keen photographer, songwriter, professional musician, radio presenter and keen gardener.

Below is a list of what I have been doing over the last few years:

Creating low and high fidelity wireframes, site maps, journey mapping, storyboards, mood boards, website landing page mock-ups, website re-designs from conception to completion, website maintenance, HTML5 animated banners using Google Web Designer, CRM emails and newsletter design and build, Keynote presentations, showreels using Adobe premier and iMovie, music composition for TV & film using, Garageband, Logic Audio and Audacity.
