About
A senior digital creative with a thorough understanding of usability, information architecture and complex interaction design. I have spent the past 6 years working in London and Melbourne designing pixel perfect artwork for a number of iconic brands including Google Crome, Ford, Sky, Kraft, Fosters, Lastminute.com and Nintendo.
I'm as passionate about the front-end development of a project as I am the design and consequently have vast experience of leading projects successfully from sketches to build. In doing this the process of collaborating with fellow developers, designers, directors and planners in order to create unique user experiences is at the heart of what I believe in.
You can normally find me working complete with a wacom pen, a mug of Rooibos tea and a pair of Sennheisers.
