Life

I'm a (Lead) product designer, living in sunny

Brighton

Walking on the beach with my wife and our dog is how I spend a lot of time when not drawing rectangles.

The rest of my time is taken up with tennis, art, videogames, listening to and going to see all kinds of live music.

Playground

Experiments, explorations, in progress little side projects.

Favourites

A virtual-but-physical collection of my favourite videogames. Currently tidying up an interaction to grab the boxes and spin them around. Next up might be music.

OKFC

Logo for fictional football club Okay FC. Inspired by the World Cup '98 chicken mascot. Embroidered on a limited run of shirts.
