A little more about me
Throughout my life I've always loved technology, crafting, art and music. Growing up, regardless of whether something was digital or using my hands, I would be trying to build and fix everything. Putting a pen, tool or a mouse in my hand and giving me the chance to be creative, I was happy. Having always had a curious mind and being intrigued and interested in how everything works, finding solutions to problems; designing and building is what I live for. I'm lucky enough to also share many of my passions with my incredible partner, who supports and encourages me through everything, as well as always being there alongside the rest of my family as a source of inspiration and motivation.
I studied Media Production at De Montfort University, enhancing a wide array of creative skills that have lent themselves perfectly to providing a multitude of design and development needs for the companies I have worked for. Throughout my career these have been invaluable, as they have given me the opportunities to support in building and launching websites, setting up marketing and new product development departments, and launching mobile applications. Having worked with various teams in-house, externally and overseas, all with varying technical abilities and usability needs, I have inevitably developed a passion for providing logical and valuable journeys that simplify and enhance user experiences.
My Values
Passion is everything.
Pour passion into every element of life. Both personal life and work should be enjoyed, putting energy into everything you believe in, surrounding yourself with people who motivate and inspire you.
Every day is a school day.
Actively listen to others, challenge yourself to improve, and always have the drive to expand your skills and knowledge. If I'm not pushing my creative boundaries, I'll always be trying to better myself. Whether I am gaining new skills to renovate a house or learning a language, there is always room to grow.
Have fun and be creativity.
Who hates to have fun? Do what makes you happy, be what makes you you and express yourself. For me that's being creative and artistic. When I'm not designing or building something digital, I'm renovating something around the home, helping my amazing partner with her latest crafting idea, or playing guitar.
Have respect and stay humble.
Respect for yourself and others goes a long way. You should always treat others how you wish to be treated and appreciate what yourself and others have had to overcome. We all have our own battles; so be kind, positive and supportive where we can.
