A little about me

I enjoy building design systems of beautiful interfaces and utilising them to create easy-to-use journeys within pixel-perfect products that put people first.

I have had the pleasure of working with clients such as Mercedes-Benz, easyJet, Marriott, Jigsaw, Taylor Wimpey, Bupa Global, Lily’s Kitchen, The Mall, and Hunter.

While my experience spans many industries, my favourites so far are Travel, Hospitality, Property, Transport and Tech.

Things that inspire me include architecture, specifically art nouveau, art deco, brutalist and Victorian; enamelled bricks 🤷‍♂️; cinematography; interior design; set design; plants; 1920s‑50s transport; Wes Anderson films.

Team fit

I always steer towards quality over quantity. I’m normally friends with the developers and I enjoy working closely with them to deliver the quality I strive for. I’m the rare breed of designer that names his layers, which can be helpful for fellow designers, developers and anyone else looking at my work.

When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me buying yet another gadget, at the cinema or theatre, building a LEGO set, refurbishing my house, trying to care for my 40+ houseplants 🤦‍♂️, playing a simulation game, or on holiday taking more photos of buildings than people.
