About Me
I'm a 25 year old freelance designer, spending most of my time designing and building for the web. I also love working on branding and print projects. I worked for an agency in Brighton as their lead designer for 4 years before deciding to give it a go on my own.
Featured web design, branding, graphic design and web development projects
Holly's House
Holly's House is a new retail space and online shop which sells an eclectic range of furniture and home wares.
I produced the branding and designed the website allowing customers to buy all of Holly's lovely products online.
Dolphin Shopping Centre
I designed and consulted on the development of the new Dolphin Shopping Centre website whilst freelancing for redcow creative.
Cathy Hassan
Cathy is a London based photographer who has taken portraits of personalities such as the late Nina Simone and the great James Brown, as well as high profile captains of industry such as Sir Alan Sugar. I designed and built this portfolio site. It scales all the way down to mobile and makes use of some swipe gestures for navigation on mobile devices and iPad.
Peaks Foundation
This is a sadly unused design for the Peaks Foundation, a charity that organises fundraising climbing adventures for groups of ladies. I much prefer it to the design that was eventually used so I've kept this in my portfolio instead.
Produced for Zero G Media.
Oxford Street
I designed and consulted on the development of the new Oxford Street website whilst freelancing for redcow creative.

Short Films
I bought a Kodak Zi8 a while ago and love it! Full HD and it fits in my pocket. I've taken it on quite a few trips and put together short vides from them. These are the latest ones but check out my Vimeo page for more.
