For ~twenty years I’ve been designing, coding, building, shipping, hiring, influencing and leading. I started out running my own web design business on 56Kbps modem, went onto work agency side for six years and have been working in-house now for nine years. For the last while I’ve been focused on agent workflows for designing and building.


I’m a Product Design Lead at PHILLIPS Auctioneers where we make software that is modernising our auction experience. In February this year we launched a bidding engine, iOS app, a suite of live tools for auctioneers and the back office workflows connecting it all. For the last year I led agent prototyping and design for this platform experience, validating our user experience, interaction design and product mechanics.
Self Initiated Works
I love the web and the fun/useful/interesting things that spawn on it. My self initiated works diverted from printmaking and illustration in 2006 when I started digitally mapping plants growing out of buildings across Leeds – to accompany my illustrations. All made possible with Yahoo Pipes and Flickr. Don’t forget, more now than ever, you can just make stuff.

Music
Recently I’ve been working on a Minidisc hardware set-up. Mix tapes and DJ sets soon to return. You can check out some of my recently played track here. Mainly, we’re talking electronic, techno, ambient, house, minimal, jazz, future garage and a bit of rock and pop classic.

Surfing The Internet
The backbone of good internet are fresh links. Don’t give in to living on platforms, surf around and discover, find rabbit holes and curious interests. You’ll have more fun, I promise you will.
