Hello!

Thanks for visiting my site. I work as a full time UI Designer, based in the heart of West Yorkshire. I am currently with a company called BTL, working on UI and UX elements of a proprietary exam portal. However, I also regularly undertake freelance projects - please take a look at my "projects" page to see some examples of my work. As you will see, I have a broad range of experience, and am keenly interested in modern design trends as well as systemic design.

I started my career as an Apprentice Designer at a small agency, working mainly within education as a Visual Designer. From there, I shifted focus to the digital side of design, before moving into Web Design and subsequently onto User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) Design.

I am proud of my ability to confidently work on both sides of the fence - in design & development. Being able to do so simultaneously not only allows me to work more efficiently, but gives me a more clear understanding of all aspects of the project as a whole - leading to a cohesive end product. I find real satisfaction in being able to follow through on building the elements that I design; this level of control and flexibility is hugely beneficial when combined with my passion and excitement about the projects I work on.

I am always looking to push the envelope, and constantly explore new ways to combine both design and development to create amazing experiences. This includes taking inspiration from other designers that motivate me: despite spending much of my time working solo, I enjoy collaborating with others and working as a collective where possible.

Of course, I'm not purely about work: I am a keen surfer, who spends many an hour freezing in the North Sea whenever the swell appears! I am also interested in sport - I'm a Manchester United fan, but promise I won't fall out with you if you're not!

Feel free to reach out to me with any questions, I'm always happy to chat about work or play!
