Designer, Developer, Maker of things...

I have a background in digital design, and several years’ experience in news and editorial, working for organisations such as The Times, BBC, The Telegraph and Channel 4 News. Currently I offer creative front-end development and design consultancy for branding and digital studios, both in the UK and internationally.

My specialisms are styling/layout systems, patterns and component libraries, navigation, animation and responsive layout. Favourite tools include: Craft, Wordpress, SASS, Tailwind, jQuery, Vue JS, Git, Gulp, and Webpack. I’m intrigued by the intersection of design and engineering and I’m always working to bridge that gap between disciplines.

Sounds like a good fit? Drop me an email

UCL Degrees of Change

Campaign, Web

Degrees of Change is a collaboration with UCL’s Sustainability Team, based on research by Dr Tom Cohen. The site forms part of a consultation on the future of UCL’s carbon emissions, inviting students and staff to submit an approach to the university’s Carbon Management Plan.

Users are given a virtual budget of £10m, which they can choose to spend on a variety of green priorities for UCL, updating financial spend and carbon savings in real-time.

Winner of UCL Professional Services Award for Innovation 2016
