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 in the last year or two
- Been involved in award winning website projects for People's History Museum and The Anthony Burgess Foundation
- Bought a share in a retro Welsh holiday cabin (and built it's website)
- Travelled in Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Laos, and trekked to see wild Gorillas in Uganda and Rwanda
- Spent three months working for Reading Room in Australia and Singapore
- Got worryingly obsessed with vintage telephones (which I renovate and sell)
- Written an article for The Drum magazine on how SEO and usability should be considered at the same time
- Usability and UX work for Oxfam, Travis Perkins, First Group, ILFORD, Philips Healthcare, the Australian Treasury, APN News & Media, East of England Development Agency, John Rylands Library and Auto Trader
