Bio
Having spent the last 7 years working primarily as an interface & visual designer, I’ve become passionate about human-centred design. Working on technology that enables and improves people’s lives whilst respecting their attention is what gets me up in the morning. It’s tough, but I believe its an important responsibility for everyone working in this industry and a challenge we should relish.
Recently, I’ve worked on projects which have involved user research, interaction & motion design, visual design and product strategy in industries ranging from automotive to healthcare. I’ve also been lucky enough to bring a passion for filmmaking to work, creating short films for Monument Valley and ustwo’s Moodnotes.
