About me
I am an experienced and award-winning senior designer with proven success across a variety of print and digital products. I have worked for the last 5 years on the Stuff brand, across their internationally-licensed print magazine, iPad app, website and social channels. My experience includes UX/UI design, prototyping for web, working with a CMS, collaborating with coders and creating animations in Adobe Edge Animate / After Effects. I have managerial experience (both internal and external) and am known for my meticulous attention to detail, which comes across in all aspects of my work, from typography and image treatment through to project management.
I have art directed many world-class photographers and illustrators and am a talented photographer myself, having had my work published in print and online.
I am hard-working, intelligent and extremely adaptable; quick to learn new software and skills. I enjoy coming up with simple and beautiful solutions to complex design problems and I am always thinking about the audience and the user experience.
