Product and website design masterclasses from one of the best-known digital designers
I’m a well-known designer and I’ve taught art direction, design, and development across Australia, Europe, and North America. I’ve run workshops in Cameroon at the Congo Basin Institute, and taught in-house design teams in Russia.
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.
