Hello. I'm a web person based in Manchester, UK. I mainly do user experience, business requirements gathering, information architecture and usability work, and have previously been a front end developer and designer. I have over a decade of experience, and am passionate about making easy to use, attractive and accessible websites for interesting and engaged organisations and individuals.
I have worked with a huge variety of clients from startups to schools to multinationals. Over the last year or so I've been involved in projects for Oxfam, Philips Healthcare, Auto Trader, the Australian Treasury, Leeds University Equality Service, Keep Britain Tidy, John Rylands Library, People's History Museum, and a tiny holiday cabin in Wales.
I currently work for Code Computerlove as a user experience architect. I'm not currently looking for work, although I'll always listen to an interesting offer.
Some interesting things I've done recently
- Moved from Reading Room to Code Computerlove, where I'm currently working on the new Oxfam UK website
- Spent three months working out of Reading Room's Sydney office on some exciting projects in Australia and Singapore
- Co-written an article for The Drum magazine on how SEO and usability should be considered at the same time
- Bought a share in a retro Welsh holiday cabin (and built it's website)
- Travelled in Cambodia and Loas, and trekked to see wild Gorillas in Uganda and Rwanda
- Seen the People's History Museum website, which I worked on, win a DADI award
- Usability and UX work for Oxfam, Travis Perkins, Philips Healthcare, the Australian Treasury, APN News & Media, East of England Development Agency, John Rylands Library and Auto Trader
