About me and my work
Twitter Feed

In my 4 years at Bluw i and Bluw Creative I have worked on online brand strategies for the likes of Intel, Sky, CBBC and Enjoy England. As Head of Design of a small team I have had the opportunity to work alongside and partner with some much larger agencies acting as the Lead Digital Designer, creating the online extension of sometimes much larger brand campaigns. My knowledge of UX and the interaction between brands and consumers on a digital platform is something I constantly try to express and develop through my blog and the blog of Bluw i. I also head up a weekly creative session that is geared towards the generation of new ideas based around social media, making full use of the vast knowledge of every individual in our team.

Other Experience

Teaching - Graphic Design at the University of East London
I have recently been teaching a module called ‘The Book’ to First year Graphic Design Degree students. The module was flexible enough for fellow designer Stephen Barrett (Fraser Muggeridge Studio) and myself to write a handful of projects that looked into ‘The Book’ as a designed object as well as the study of layout, typesetting and binding. I aim to propose an ‘Online Design’ module that could be taught as part of next year’s Graphic design Degree course that I plan to tutor.
