I work within a large team experienced in writing user stories and adopting a mobile first approach I convert ideas into conceptual designs in Photoshop. For complex journeys I also create interactive prototyping in Axure. The screenshots and Photoshop concepts shown here are my own work against the back drop of our collaborative Scrum board. As part of the Agile development process I am involved in the front-end build in HTML5, SASS, CSS3 Animation (view a sample), JavaScript, jQuery and by using Node.js modules such as Git, Grunt and npm. I also have exposure to editing the logic inside the JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library (JSTL).

Gaining exceptional graphic design training from our Creative Director Steve Neaves, I was delighted my creative skills helped win the pitch to build and maintain one of Japan's most prestigious video game companies. Together with Matt Isaacs we also created the front-end code for the main website as well as all the micro websites (e.g. Monster Hunter and Street Fighter offers) often adopting pair programming techniques.

Working collaboratively with the Creative Director we adopted a design influenced by Flat Design [wiki] with hints of Web 2.0 to bring the designs to life and win the pitch to build the intranet for Visa. I then worked on my own to create all the front-end code and then helped to build the back end functionality with Mike Severs who built the complex user interactions.

A truly digital project for BlackBerry I was involved in building both the design and PHP of the micro site and the UI design of the large touch screen interface that scaled up in size using jQuery Mobile. As part of a development team I was involved with both the design and the front-end build alongside .NET programmer Chris Rose who programmed the quiz backend.

Using tablet compatible CSS3 animations I hand coded over 1300 lines of CSS and added jQuery interactions. The vector illustration was designed by Paul Chapman and I design all the UI and internal pages as well implementing the animation.

We won the contract to design and build the front-end for Eutechnyx. The graphic design by Paul Chapman was influenced by my design work on Capcom Europe, and I helped to design the UI with wireframes. Writing JavaScript and CSS I then lead the small Agile team to build front-end modules with the help of Paul Bradley. Samples of these Desktop to HD responsive modules can be found here.

Working collaboratively with education and IT professionals, I was involved in the design (Photoshop and Illustrator) of all our products include UI for Talent Pool, Applicant Tracking, Temporary Staff Management, Teaching resources and all of our job boards on various Local Education Authority websites. I was also responsible for maintaining W3C standards, acessability and writing and maintaining style guides for both print and web.
