I'm offering
My area of expertise is the user experience and user interface design of mobile app and web products. My most recent project Jazzed has a rating of 4.9/5 in the Apple App Store. I like to experiment in all areas of design, particularly brand identity and illustration projects. I have 20 years commercial experience covering many areas of design including mobile, automotive, web design & build, voice UX, multimedia and print. Apart from possessing a range of design skills I also manage projects, lead user testing sessions and work with agile methodologies. I am an experienced and competent user of software packages such as Sketch, Photoshop, Illustrator, Xd, InDesign, Figma, Marvel, Fireworks and many others. As well as digital design and production, I work enthusiastically with a wide range of media including drawing, painting and photography.

job
Principal Designer
Audiogum.
My role began during the set up phase, helping to shape the company direction and creating the pitch for investment. Logo,
branding and office space design were next on the list. Once up and running my role was that of creative lead to the team, leading
visual design as well as running user research sessions, creating sketches, wireframes and prototypes before producing hi-def visual
designs. The position was that of a combined UX, UI and Product Designer, while also giving the designers I managed enough
freedom to be creative themselves. I had discused design related issues with the CEO, CTO, COO and Head of Product on a daily
basis. Working closely with both front and back end development teams we helped to create a diverse and entertaining set of apps for Audiogum and its customers such as Sony, Bosch, Libratone, Dynaudio and the recently launched Jazzed.
