What I Do
2017 marked my switch to freelancer life.
Very exciting times! So far I’ve had the pleasure of working with Scottish Widows (though Designit), Morgan Stanley, Lloyds Bank (either through the awesomely named SapientRazorfish or directly), CYBG, better known as Clydesdale Bank, Moody’s Analytics, Finmo and the Scottish Parliament. In my previous employed life, I spent time with Realise (now called Kin + Carta), Blonde (now called Signal), IfLooksCouldKill and Peach.
I’ve been in the industry for more than 15 years now, completing my Undergrad in Product Design back in 2006, starting out as a print and advertising designer before returning to Napier to do a Masters in Interdisciplinary Design, working as a lecturer, then switching to digital design in 2011.
I see myself primarily as someone who loves solving problems and crafting solutions. That seems to make me a UI, a UX, a UI/UX or a Product Designer, depending on who wrote the project spec!
Our industry sure does love its job titles…
