I have over 12 years of agency experience. Covering wireframes, design, frontend, user experience & project management. I'm Newcastle born, Yorkshire bred, and currently working at Ponderosa.
I’m obsessed with details, and love nothing better than understanding customer and guest user journeys and making them better. My past gives me a fairly unique ability to approach design management with both a user and technology centred focus. I am able to deliver experiences that work for the client, end user and development team with ease.
Outside of work, I keep myself active - I love playing football, I like to run as well as actually managing to go to the gym regularly. I also enjoy playing pool and badminton, listening to audiobooks and socialising with friends.
I’m a positive, sociable and committed person, who thrives on overcoming obstacles and challenges.
Skills
I have strong experience working with teams to brainstorm concepts. I can create wireframes from low to high levels of fidelity, and enjoy prototyping ideas.
With a high level of front-end development knowledge, I am able to realise designs myself while being highly effective working with both designers and developers to build out ideas.
