About me
about me
I'm an Interaction designer with over 20 years commercial experience. I have witnessed many updates in technology and design in the online evolution. However one thing remains true, users should be at the heart of good design.
I am passionate about delivering good user centred designs that provide positive experiences.
I have a BSc Degree in MediaLab Arts from the University of Plymouth.
