About me
With a user-centered approach to design, I like to explore how people interact with products and products interact with people. I am always looking at why products are the way that they are and by putting the user first I design products that are functional, beautiful and able to provide the user with the best experience.
Projects
  • Experience Haus: Course creation platform
    Experience Haus: Course creation platformAfter building their Intro to User Experience Design online course on Teachable Experience Haus have found some problems/things that could be done better, because of this they want to use the same techniques that they teach on their course to create a new platform with a better UI, features that people actually need instead of just want as well as a proper mobile experience.
  • The Bat Cave Project
    The Bat Cave ProjectRavensbourne wanted to build a searchable, digital archive of work produced by both Undergraduate and Postgraduate students as well as staff research papers. After they had built an initial UI we were brought into develop, test and expand upon the platform until it was ready to launch to both staff and students for use within Ravensbourne.

    Ken: Deep learning music appUsing Artificial Intelligence, Ken reads your body in real time to understand the way you feel about music. Using this data Ken curates playlists of music to help maintain or change your emotional state.
  • TeamXp: Redesign
    TeamXp: RedesignAs the product is targeted at large-scale companies the interface needs to be redesigned to make it feel more like an enterprise product that is worth its large price tag.
  • LabShare
    LabShareClassroom scientific experiments are boring, out of context, difficult to set up and are confined to 1 or 2 lessons under the supervision of a teacher with often no opportunity to interact, revise or collaborate outside of the classroom.
  • SEC2U
    SEC2UStartup Europe, European Commission and SEUN run a series of events and workshops to help grow the community of entrepreneurs across Europe. The latest SEC2U event is targeted at university students and academics. Having not been touched in a while the website is in major need of an update both visually and structurely to ensure it that it can last for many years to come.
