Projects
  • Values Hub
    Values HubUser experience design for Responsible Travel. I developed the idea of having a platform within the site so that customers and journalists could easily access Responsible Travel’s values and stances on various topics relating to ethical tourism. The design was not as I’d planned, due to limited budget available, however I was involved in the logistical organisational of the content and backend development.
  • Web-Portfolio
    Web-PortfolioThis was my first attempt at designing and coding a website, upon which I showcased my CV.
  • First Website Design
    First Website DesignThis is the first web design project I have worked on. I designed the logo and branded the whole website, this was done for a made-up client to test my skills. To view the website see this link: http://aria-oslo-139.superhi.com/index.html
