I'm offering
I design beautiful, highly usable digital products and experiences that help brands connect with users. As a hands on creative lead I take pride in seeing ideas go from conception through to execution, delivery and beyond. After having spent 14 years in the design industry I gathered skills in print, digital and interaction design and have worked with brands such as McLaren, Adidas, Facebook and Ferrari. I began my career in experiential design, working on interfaces and installations for car manufacturers, hotel chains and energy producers (Shell). Keen to get more industry experience I moved into advertising - getting a job at Work Club where we won Digital Agency of the Year. More recently I have moved more into the Product and Interface design industry where I lead projects by example. I enjoy working on installation design, interface design, web and app design as well as working with animators & filmmakers.
