Hi! Nice to meet you
I'm a interface designer and front-end developer design engineer.
Throughout the previous 19 years, my role has revolved around design and front-end development for websites and applications.
I believe the future of the web is sustainable, simple to use and accessible to all. To achieve this, I balance aesthetics, experience and efficient code. I collaborate with authentic brands, businesses and start-ups to solve design problems which benefit their business and the end-user.
On the side, I'm conquering my fear of heights by climbing up and down walls. I enjoy noodling on my guitar and making silly noises with my synthesiser.
