About Martin
Web and usability design
I question everything. I want to know why someone might care about a product or website. I want to know their interests and motivations.
I am passionate about delivering good design with purposeful outcomes. I aim to engage users with positive digital experiences. I love concepting and designing solutions that deliver value for people, not interrupt them.
I have a BSc Degree in MediaLab Arts from the University of Plymouth.
