Designing for good, not evil.
Tread warily!
I'm building this site in the open and am in the process of tinkering with a blog and adding more examples of work.
In the spirit of iterative design, tread warily my friend and don't mind the typos, placeholders, less polished bits and accessibility issues.
Hello
I’m civic-minded and passionate about inclusive design, equity and exploring the intersection of community and technology.
I identify as a technically leaning designer, yet would also consider myself as a bit of a maker these days too. Having covered the spectrum of experience design and code for many years now, I’m comfortable designing and prototyping in low fidelity or with popular design tools, through to noodling about Github repos, production codebases and working closely alongside engineers.
Currently Head of Product Design at Hireup, over the last 15 years I have worked for big, sprawling organisations, consultancies, top notch agencies and freelanced for lovely little places too.
