A bit of background

I’ve set up base in Somerset with my amazing wife and cheeky kids. I work in a hybrid role, splitting my time between home, London and Worthing.

Career

I’d love to say I was born in a creative cocoon but life isn’t always a straight line and my line has wobbled before finally finding a career I can say I enjoy! You can check out my CV or LinkedIn page for more details, but suffice to say I have been through a few different roles, adding dashes of creative flair, before realising where my passion lies.

My management style is one of treating people with respect and supporting them to do their best work. I pride myself on going the extra step to ensure my team feel heard and therefore, valued.

My style

My design style is based on a simple, clean UI with enough “pop” that the right elements are noticed. I love contrast using colours that compliment and offer impeccable usability. I want to show accessible design can be exciting and addictive as you can see from my work.

Spare time

I spend most of my spare time with my awesome little family but when I’m not pretending to be a monster or a climbing frame, I relish the chance to watch sitcoms (The Office, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and loads more), play some games or get outside for some exercise.

When it comes to fitness, I’ve been spending most of my time playing golf (or trying to) over the last few years. I enjoy cycling and bombing down the mountain on skis when I get the chance.

I love to travel and have been lucky enough to visit many awesome parts of the world, some of which you can see snapped below.
