I have been delivering successful digital solutions across a multitude of sectors, for two decades. This wealth of design and development experience has given me the unique ability to find solutions to complex problems from several perspectives.

I love the problem-solving journey towards finding the best solutions via a process of analytical, divergent, and convergent thinking. My design and development background was naturally business and brand-focused. However, over the past few years, I have become increasingly interested in psychology, accessibility and user-focused design.

Minimalism is at the heart of everything I do and the journeys I create. I'm always searching for simplicity, making the most of core elements, whilst minimising distractions and the unnecessary.

By day I design user experiences, at night I’m designing listening experiences with digital and analog synthesisers. The sensation of sound is a powerful experience often overlooked in terms of user experience. This is an area that I am currently exploring along with my interests in VUIs, accessibility, neuroscience, design psychology, and more recently, ethical design.

When I’m not designing, (which is rare), I’ll be relaxing on the beach either in Brighton, Ibiza, or Thailand. But even then, I'll probably still be busy visualising solutions for a new digital experience...
