I’m a polished and popular speaker. I’ve presented about art direction and digital design to over 25,000 web professionals since 2005.

International conference speaker

I’m a well-known designer and I’ve written five books about art direction and website design. I’ve given over 85 talks at conferences on almost every continent and have delivered design masterclasses to hundreds of professional designers.

I often find inspiration for my designs outside the web, which gives me a fresh perspective that I bring to every project. My knowledge of modern web technologies helps me deliver designs that are a world away from common generic templates.

Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked with clients worldwide. I’ve designed e-commerce websites for Disney, WWF, and numerous small businesses. Greenpeace and WWF came to me when they needed help improving their online donations. Sunlife did the same when they needed a design system for digital and print marketing. I worked with the Home Office on a website for Hillsborough Independent Panel, designed an anti-smoking campaign for Senydd Cymru, and a website for Open University which encourages young Welsh people to be changemakers.

I’ve worked with numerous councils and dozens of businesses in the manufacturing and service industries. I worked in Australia with Ansarada to develop their brand and visual identity. I’ve also worked in Switzerland for ISO and WIPO and in Germany for SAP. For five years, I led the product design team at Nozomi Networks.
