About me
I'm a designer who's obsessed by clever, considered, beautiful typography, created digitally or by hand. A designer that will gently push each project as far as it can go to live up to its potential. A designer who will strip away the non-essentials to make the communication as powerful as possible. But most importantly, I'm a designer who loves, lives and breathes design. I'm as happy in front of a screen as I am a piece of paper, with a pen and pencil, a keyboard and mouse, or a tablet and a stylus in hand. Specialties: Branding, identity and front-end web design first and foremost, with a lean towards the fashion retail and not for profit sectors. Strategically sound, precise communication. It's what matters to the user, that matters to me.

    Frowse - Online ShoppingDEVELOPING A NEW WAY TO BROWSE FOR FASHION ONLINE Problem: Developing the branding and experience surrounding a new concept in online shopping (being able to browse, rather than search) in a format which would work across mobile, tablet, desktop and TV. Solution: Taking a step back and looking at what the journey would be for this new concept informed the visual style and everything that followed. The results can be viewed at: frowse.fashion or you can download the Frowse App.
