About me

I have been working at the London based digital agency ustwo for 5 years as a senior designer on various client and internal projects.

I recently moved to Manchester and have since been working remotely and traveling to London weekly to work in the studio. I am now looking to settle in Manchester and am looking for a full time position there.

At ustwo I have mainly been working as a lead in the companies R&D department creating products for the iPhone and iPad, we use these products to gain exposure for the company and bring in new business. This role has given me great experience in creating digital entertainment from scratch to finished product, and also a strong understanding of the market and platforms. With this I strive to innovate and create experiences that are fun, fulfilling and make people smile.

While at ustwo I have also worked as a designer and art director with a variety of clients such as Sony Ericsson, Sony, Vans, Turner, Barclays, Channel4 and H&M.
