A little bit about me

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'm an auto-didactic learner, practising front-end development outside business hours. This portfolio is a single place to showcase all disciplines.

In Progress Project:

NameNest – A name sharing and voting app for new parents

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. This way, names that resonate with both parents float to the top and the disliked names are pushed to the bottom.

Future Project:

MGS1 Codec website theme

"This is Snake. Colonel, do you read me?..."

Growing up I loved the games, and the original's design aesthetic for the codec gets me right in the nostalgia. I wonder what a website theme might look like?...
