I usually have something intelligent to say about myself, but I seem to be struggling!
You're looking at a passionate Digital Designer-turning-Front End Developer based in Hastings, UK. This portfolio is a testament to my coding abilities whilst showcasing some of my favourite projects.
I have years of proven experience across:
For over a decade, I’ve developed a career around design for print and digital application. I've worked independently as a freelancer and collaboratively as part of close-knit teams, but always delivering high-quality artwork and experiences to all stakeholders, even under tight budgets and deadlines.
I graduated with a BA Hons Illustration from University of Portsmouth in 2011. Since then, my creative journey has spanned projects involving product design, web design, branding, identity, marketing, and advertising.
My curiosity and desire to learn doesn't just stop at design, either. I am a auto-didactic learner, practicing front-end development outside business hours. This portfolio is a single place to showcase all disciplines.
Developing cultural infrastructure requires a steady focused effort across long periods of time. The Cultural Planning Toolkit will help users navigate the deliverability of cultural infrastructure
I designed and built this website in response to the many wedding R.S.V.P websites offering templates, calendars, and all the other functionalities for a subscription fee.
Flagship website for Sussex tourism focused on art, landscape and wine around the East and West Sussex countryside. The site is an active blog and editorial platform showcasing some of the best qualities of Sussex, visited by thousands of users every month.
Our client – a savvy and veteran project managing consultant – required an identity that would allow them to kickstart their new venture, but also stand the test of time.
What would an emoticon language inspired by TASSIMO's coffee pod design look like? I explored this idea...
Local carpenter JC Carpentry wanted an identity that reflected their love for classic Americana-style hand-painted branding.
After the COVID lockdowns, SSHC was need of a social media push as their presence was pretty much non-existent.
Local carpentry business BR Property Developments had dissolved and were in need of a new look. They came to me for a brand new identity using their new company name, ‘TATANKA’, the Lakota word for ‘bison’.
A graphic identity celebrating Hastings’ Hockey team the South Saxons reaching their 125 year anniversary. I wanted to design a contemporary identity that was bold and energetic, and that stretched the boundaries of what the identity could do if given the chance to break out using some imagination.
My wife likes to knit, but doesn't like to drop a stitch. She needs a tool to help her keep track of her progress during a knitting session and when she returns after time away. I aim to build a simple web app utilising the device's local storage to save her progress.
Unless you've designed brand guidelines before, you can't understand the unnecessary labour it takes to create colour palettes by copying codes from a modal, closing the modal, pasting the text into a frame, opening the modal for the next colour, and so on. Why is it so painful Adobe! I take things into my own hands with this script I developed...
I'm an avid tabletop gamer, but I currently don't dedicate enough time to playing because I'm too busy learning to code! This creates a problem when it comes round to 'throwing dice' because I can never recall my army rules and stats quickly or efficiently enough, making every game last twice as long (much to my opponent's dismay). This is where the idea for this app came from; what is essentially a quiz / flashcard app in order to help with memory recall and reduce time spent swiping through pages looking for rules.
Unless you've designed brand guidelines in InDesign before, you'll find it hard to understand the unnecessary labour it takes to create colour palettes by copying codes from a colour popup modal, closing the modal, pasting the text into a frame, opening the modal for the next colour, and so on. Why is it so painful Adobe! So I'm taking things into my own hands...
Deciding on a name for a child is difficult – both parents have their likes and their dislikes, meaning that alignment isn't always easy. This app aims to store and list desired names in popularity order by offering the users a function to up or down vote their favourite names.
