A bit about me

I've 20 years experience, led and built successful teams, worked with high-profile clients, and won awards along the way.

I am a hard-working designer with a forward-thinking approach, holding myself to the highest standards. My passion lies in creating exceptional work for clients that not only stands out visually but is user-focused and accessible at its core. I am a down-to-earth, jargon-free team player who loves all aspects of design. Although my 20 years of experience span UI/UX design, I am also highly skilled in graphic design, motion graphics, animation, and self-taught in illustration. These disciplines have been integral to numerous projects I have worked on, making me a versatile designer with a wide range of skills.

With 20 years in the web design industry, I bring a wealth of experience. I have won awards and successfully pitched to major clients. I have led design teams, mentoring both senior and junior designers, and played a crucial role in hiring and building teams. My collaborations span a diverse array of clients across various industries, including Premier League football clubs, airports and arenas, tourism boards, restaurants, small startups, local businesses, and much more.

Currently, I am a Lead Designer at Barclays working on internal facing websites and apps, where I manage the team's design library and UI output. In this role, I am dedicated to ensuring we produce well designed, user-centric and accessible work that exceeds the expectations of our colleagues.
