I do a lot of IA, UX design, visual design and front-end development to create seamless user interactions, but I also have lots of ideas to ensure these experiences are beautiful and fun as well. I'm as happy developing a brand's personality online as I am ensuring their eCommerce checkout is performing well.

IA / UX / Visual Design

Big Group’s work varies drastically, from e-Commerce platform development to VIP event management. The task was to make a site that presents their services in unity. The design needed to be optimised for all devices: www.biggroup.co.uk.

Concept / Copy Writing / Branding / Graphic & Print Design / Front-End Development

A concept for MasterCard’s BRITs 2013 after party. I created an emblem for the evening based on Event Concept’s stage LEDs. The emblem appeared on all collateral including a foil-blocked invite.

Guests were instructed to “Light Up The Night” by visiting a website on their mobile where they’d find a light show (*careful if you’re epileptic*) that I created in JQuery.

Pick a Facebook friend, calibrate the position of their eyes, nose & mouth with the UI and then say MAAAOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMM for as long as you can until your mate’s head blows. Share the juicy explosion on their timeline.

Watch this!

IA / UX / UI Design & Identity

Designing something that designs something is complicated. Making things simple for people isn’t simple. These are two lessons I learnt while creating a UX for Tiger Pistol: a web app that lets you design and develop Facebook apps from scratch.

Users can create or pick themes and drag & drop widgets as they please to create tailor made contests, coupons, custom Facebook tabs and other social media campaigns.

Considering both the user and their user was a first for me.

Please note the images below were used for mockup purposes and never used commercially.

An idea for a credit card brand aimed to ensure social media domination around a key sponsorship. Consumers would be rewarded with prizes for their enthusiasm and creativity, with the best tweets acted out and filmed to create great online content.

Branding probably isn’t my specialist subject but I enjoyed making these logos nonetheless.

Visual Design

I don’t think I realised at the time how lucky I was to be given the opportunity to create a UI for such an iconic brand. Check it out - I’d probably do it differently now!

Graphic & Print Design

A simple idea at Old Trafford to leverage Audi’s sponsorship of Manchester United by increasing endorsement.

The Mayor Of London was only used for mock up purposes as everybody knows his ridiculous face.

This was an idea for a burger restaurant that LADS love. It was aimed to promote the chain’s flagship product: an insanely large challenge meal that few manage to finish. Users could superimpose their face onto a burger and in doing so induct themselves into the ‘Hall Of Flame’. Within this environment they would see promotional messages and find their nearest branch.

The idea was rejected on the grounds that is was too leftfield.

I started my career at STA Travel. I created national campaigns, promotions and newsletters for the airlines we worked closely with.

‘Fact / Fiction’ was an awareness campaign which positioned STA Travel as experts that can help anyone, not just students.

‘Push The Button’ was an idea of mine to sell package holidays (the easiest holiday to book). No hassle, just click to turn your holiday on. ‘Say No To Sanity’ was an idea to sell gap years against the mundane reality of life.

It was fun to re-imagine famous brands for the student and youth market.

I wanted to make a contemporary environment for my tumblr music blog. I used JQuery & CSS to turn the viewport into a progress bar and allowed listeners to put their feet up by writing code that ensured continuous play. Have a look this way.
