UI DESIGN
I’ve been involved in building simple mobile first responsive interfaces to complex commercial applications for the web and mobile.
I’ve planned, prototyped and executed design systems through close collaboration with stakeholders and team members using Sketch, Adobe XD, Invision and Jira.
FRONT-END DEVELOPMENT
Modular CSS with Sass, BEM and atomic component architecture. Experience with static site generators such as Jekyll and Gatsby. Familiar with most CSS frameworks.
JavaScript (es6), React with styled components, Vue, D3, Node, Express and Webpack
For version control, I am experienced in Git.
ACCESSIBILITY & UX
I’m an advocate for accessibility on the web. I’ve run Pa11y tests and audits to ensure that software complies with WCAG guidelines. I have a solid understanding of User centric design principles for desktop and mobile systems.
LOGO DESIGN
I’m keen on logo design, I enjoy the challenge of creating a brand message using simple shapes and colours.
GRAPHIC DESIGN
I am experienced using Photoshop and Illustrator for creating and optimising assets for the web. I’m enthusiastic about web typography, having come from a print background.
AGILE DEVELOPMENT
I have experience working as part of a multi-disciplinary Agile team using Scrum and Kanban methodologies.
