I achieved a distinction in web design and development from Birkbeck, University of London in 2008 and have since been applying my graphic design skills to digital projects. I am focused on accessibility and standards compliant web design, using CSS, HTML, and javascript.

Intertype
intertype.co.uk website designed using a customised javascript gallery function.
Javascript galleries can be viewed on iphones and ipads as well as allowing the content to be read by assistive technologies.
Welcare
welcare.org was created as part of a complete overhaul of the charity's visual identity. The rounded design is intended to give a child friendly feel, breaking away from conventional grid layout and employing CSS3 techniques.
Using a 'light' CMS I have been able to deliver a high level of control on a very tight budget. Creating a separate stylesheet for Internet explorer (which doesn't support CSS3) ensures cross browser compatibility.
Jolene Farmer
Jolene Farmer is an antiques and lighting restorer from East London. jolenefarmer.com designed to show examples of her work as well as her supporting skills with pages for her film and artwork, making use of social media to help raise Jolene's profile.
The scrap paper and notes design was developed to reflect Jolene's way of working and to give the site a relaxed and creative feel.
Word Image Text
Brand development including logos, marketing materials and a website. Produced for a consortium of editors, writers, designers and photographers offering their services as a one-stop-shop for charity communications.
Pubcats
pubcats.com is a personal project as part of my continuing professional development. I am in the process of designing a custom theme for Drupal using texture and transparency to give the design a sense of depth.
Selvedge
Proposal for the redesign of selvedge.org, the website for Selvedge textile design magazine.
