Freelance UX Architect, London

Apple

Contract UX architecture and UI development for internal software used by the finance department.

Citywire

Citywire is a London-based financial publishing and information group. It specialises in tracking the performance of fund managers. The brief was to extend the business into 33 new territories and increase the dwell time of recipients of the email newsletter by improving the experience on mobile devices. The site uses a bespoke front end architecture based on BEM.

Oil and Gas

The Oil & Gas Awards is an organisation that recognizes and awards companies within the oil and gas sector. The site is fully content managed using a highly customised Wordpress installation I built with Hugh Rawlinson. A thorough understanding of the business's commercial challenges helped us streamline many aspects of the organisation.

Top Stocks

Top stocks is a stock filter that helps investors identify the hottest securites in UK equities based on the concensus and conviction of 5 of the best wealth managers. I interviewed multiple investors and IFAs, collaborated with analysts and conducted a series of usability tests during code iterations to create this application.

Pocket High Street

Pocket High Street: "The Search Engine for your High Street" allows shoppers to search the stock at hundreds of local retailers and then reserve, pay and collect. I designed the MVP at Rainmaking Loft during the 24 hour Hack the High Street Hackathon where we picked up second prize.

Beakon

Beakon is a marketplace for creating hyperlocal flash sales. I designed the MVP at Google Campus during the 24 hour Trans-hack-tion hackathon and was incredibly chuffed to have walked away with the prize for best overall design.

Raspberry Jam

Raspberry Jam is an international network of Raspberry Pi meetup groups. After speaking with the self proclaimed 'Jam-bassador' Alan O'Donohoe, I established the London group and held the first event at Mozilla's Covent Garden offices and have been helping build the brand ever since.

GigJunkie

Gigjunkie was a social network for live music fans. We aggregated concert listings all over the world from dozens of ticketing providers. The commercial experience I gained at this startup had a huge influence on me as a proponent of Lean UX Design.

Hotel King

HotelKing is a responsive hotel search website I designed with San Francisco based marketers, LynoMedia in partnership with leading travel company Priceline.

CTUK
