About me.

“Make something wonderful and put it out there”

– Steve Jobs, 2007.

A digital designer with a passion for creating beautiful, functional and intuitive user experiences, putting thought and care into every last detail. I come from a Graphic Design degree but have focused on UI and UX design. I've also been a self-taught developer since 2018. Primarily learning and working within the JavaScript ecosystem. I have a strong understanding of JavaScript, HTML, CSS and have also worked with Node.js, React, TypeScript, Electron, Express, Next.js, TailwindCSS and many more. Recently, I've been learning Rust and Apple's Swift (+ SwiftUI).
At my core, I'm a problem solver. I love to learn and I love to create. I'm always looking for new challenges and opportunities to learn and grow.

Experience

I've recently completed the Flipside programme which is run by A New Direction. An industry-led programme helping people kickstart their careers in digital product design. I was taught by some of the best-in-the-business, ustwo, Made by Many, Bynd, Frog, Digitas and Normally. Prior to that, I completed a placement at The One Off. Here, I worked on a conceptual digital way-finding experience for FLANNELS Liverpool, in-store experiences for Sports Direct and some concepting/ideation work for other international clients.

Currently

I'm looking for a full-time permanent role as a digital product designer/developer. I'm open to remote work but would prefer a London-based hybrid/in-person role.
Please contact me if you would like to get in touch.

Outside of design

When I'm not in Figma or Visual Studio Code, I enjoy working on my car, buying tools I definitely do not need but absolutely want or spinning something up in the kitchen. I'm a massive foodie and love trying new recipes and techniques. I also enjoy a nice tea, preferably loose leaf. I'm a bit of a tea snob.

Future Ambitions

If the opportunity arose, I would love to work in San Francisco for a few years. It's the heart of the tech industry and I would love to give it a go and see the culture in-person.
Later on, I aim of starting my own studio later down the line, delivering beautifully crafted bespoke websites and applications to clients who want to be ahead of the game. I've also had a few ideas for some SaaS products that I'd like to develop and release in the future.
See you at my funding round. 👋
