About me

I'm a visual designer with a knack for coding, hailing from the picturesque landscapes of Yorkshire, UK.

Wooden desk with computer screens, notebooks, and plants in a home office.

With over a decade of experience in crafting digital experiences, I thrive at the intersection of design and technology. My goal is to create simple, intuitive, and delightful user interfaces and experiences.

I have a deep passion for the finer details of design, from mastering typography and colour theory to optimizing site speed and ensuring accessibility for all users. I firmly believe in the power of design systems to streamline workflows and maintain consistency across projects. Additionally, I enjoy building interactive web applications using tools like React and Astro.

My design journey began over ten years ago during my time at college, where I immersed myself in media and experimented with Photoshop to create mock websites in my spare time. Since then, I've honed my skills and transformed my passion into a fulfilling career.

Currently, I'm proud to be part of a dynamic team at a small web company based in Leeds. We specialize in e-commerce solutions and have the privilege of collaborating with some of the finest charities in the UK, leveraging our expertise to make a positive impact online.

When I'm not at my desk, you'll often find me exploring the great outdoors with my loyal companion, Rosie, my dog. I have a deep appreciation for nature, which often translates into my other hobbies, such as landscape photography and cycling.

Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to reach out if you'd like to collaborate or just share your love for design, technology, or the great outdoors.
