Since 2011, our collective releases a music selection every Sunday morning made in collaboration with a musician, band or poet. We're an independent, not-for-profit and ad-free cooperative—supported by our generous community—with around 16,000 people subscribed to our mailing list. Each episode is the result of a collaborative work between a guest, curator, illustrator and writer. http://mailta.pe/

I am currently working with Eurostar for their responsive redesign. My skills and experience include: • Excellent understanding of standards-aware, accessible and cross-browser HTML and CSS as applied to visual and UX design; • Excellent knowledge of designing UI explorations as well as interaction models for mobile and tablet applications (iOS 3.0-11, Android 1.6-7.1.2, Bada, Palm, RIM and Symbian); • Good knowledge of design research (user interviews, intercept surveys, usability studies), in addition to concept development wire­framing, building and testing prototypes and information architecture; • Adept at creating – and working with – branding guidelines and pattern libraries; • Experience in facilitating and planning workshops, pairing, release retrospectives, design critiques and mentoring junior designers; • Using: Adobe CC suite, Sketch, Affinity Designer, Invision, Flinto, Zeplin and pen & paper (as well as GIMP when I can). • Agile environments: Scrum, TDD, BDD, CD and development pairing.

Redesigning and re-platforming Eurostar.com for three languages – English, French and Dutch. The project involved a new responsive look and feel, ‘future vision’ native apps for phones and the Apple Watch, a digital pattern library and a wholesale re-platforming with new editing tools for the content team. My role was design lead on the booking path team, which also included establishing a shared vocabulary across the product teams with the creation of a pattern library, in addition to providing UX and user testing support.

Working on the massive open online course (MOOC) platform founded in December 2012 as a company majority owned by the Open University. As of August 2017, it has 131 university partners and many non-university partners including the British Museum, the British Council, the British Library, the European Space Agency, the British Medical Journal (BMJ) and the National Film and Television School. As well as designing across both the product and marketing teams, we started the "living" pattern library using the atomic design methodology to construct and classify UI elements and patterns. The library directly reflects the FutureLearn platform and uses the same underlying CSS and markup to display the elements and rules that make up the interface.

On a six-month contract, I was working across a range of commercial and news products including the next-generation Guardian Android app and the rebrand of Guardian Soulmates.

I worked predominantly on the Nissan Infiniti account, and also helped to hire and mentor graduate designers coming into the company.

Joining a small core team as the only designer on staff, I provided the UX and visual design on award-winning mobile app projects including BBC GoodFood and the official England Football Association application. Platforms included iOS 2-4, Android 1.6-3.2, Bada, Palm, RIM and Symbian.

After graduating, I joined the BBC Children’s Interactive & On Demand department, working on childrens’ websites and interactive TV for CBBC and cBeebies.
