Some notes about where I have been working, the projects I have worked on and the experiences that I have gained.

Within the roles that I have worked in, I have gained a great deal of experience in working on digital projects across different organisations. I have worked across multiple disciplines, encompassing everything from user experience, design and development.

These skills are hugely valuable and allow me to understand a project from multiple angles. I am hugely interested in the creative process of developing an experience. It is important to investigate different design ideas which may bring a product to life. I'm interested in the technical aspects of implementation a product and the ways which it can limit or extend a products scope. Having a good understanding of all these elements is important for understanding everything that contributes towards a digital experience. I have an excellent understanding of the theory and practice of design in order to create something and and to turn it into an interactive prototype. My skills provide a great value to any organisation.

I am excited by the industry and the speed of which technology is changing. I find it very fulfilling to work with the latest technologies and I look forward to the new and emerging technologies that will add to our industry. I look forward to learning new things and working with technologies that will enhance the wider world.
