Currently studying an undergraduate degree in
Typography & Graphic Communication

Typography Icon

I’ve studied Typography & Graphic Communication at possibly the best institution to do so in the world – the University of Reading.

Responsive Web Design Icon

I design future proof mobile first responsive websites to the latest web standards. I also keep up with the most recent best practices.

UX Design Icon

User Experience takes precedence throughout my entire process from research, through wireframes to design and development.

Interaction Design Icon

I particularly enjoy fine tuning websites with subtle interactions to make the overall experience that bit nicer on all devices.

Front-end Development Icon

I have a good knowledge of HTML and CSS (Sass). I also use Javascript for progressive enhancements and know a fair amount of PHP.

Wordpress Icon

I have developed many sites built upon Wordpress. With the right knowledge it can be a very powerful tool for client websites.

This was a university project on Responsive Web Design and the on process behind it. I tried out Gridset for the first time on this project.

This was an editorial and branding project for a speculative conference called Baseline. I also produced a specification for implementation.

This is one of my freelance projects, for which I designed and built a trio of interlinked responsive websites for three London pubs.

I was invited to meet the Queen at Buckingham Palace and got to speak to the Duke of Edinburgh about how he likes big type.

I was one of the winners of Typecast’s first contest. My entry for Tim Brown’s quote won the ‘Most grinworth’ category :)

One of my shots on Dribbble of a use for the three line menu icon was featured in the Responsive Design Weekly #26 email newsletter.
