Freelance developer and designer


Profile

BAFTA-winning interactive creative developer and designer with 26+ years of driving impactful digital solutions for agencies and direct clients. I can deliver end-to-end projects, from concept and UX/UI to full-stack development (Laravel, SQL, HTML5, CSS3, React/JavaScript, API/databse design) along with motion graphics and data visualisation.

My experience in fast-paced London agencies honed my ability to hit the ground running, complete projects to tight deadlines, and consistently exceed expectations with a "can-do" attitude. Delivering across web, SaaS, mobile (iOS/Android), motion graphics, animations, interactive installations, and more. Now based in York, UK.

Passionate about digital and experienced across diverse projects, I've collaborated with many great companies, clients: people. This broad experience has led to recognition including multiple awards:

BIMA
BAFTA
The Royal Television Society
Y Design Awards
EMMA Foundation
IVCA
