Site architecture and design direction for Tesco’s technology pre-sales website (launching September 2010).
Included conducting stakeholder workshops, user research, delivering sitemaps, wireframes, visual concepts, and providing detailed documentation of designs and site behaviour to inform site development.
Sketched wireframes through to final design direction for the 2009 relaunch of the Sci Fi Channel’s UK website.
Project didn’t extend to site architecture — the challenge was to create a world-class user experience within the limitations of their existing CMS and legacy content structure.
At Clearleft.
Created a fresh design direction for the main international site, with ‘skinnable’ sub-sites for some regions. Produced quick and dirty wireframes to prototype homepage behaviour.
Worked with thousands of pages of legacy content, created a style guide and design pattern library for each page type.

Site prototyping, usability testing (assisting James Box), visual design, and creation of style guides for several projects for the world's leading educational publishing group.
I have a fantastic working relationship with Pearson, and we are discussing future work on a freelance basis.

BBC News approached me to create a custom set of social media icons based on their Global Experience Language, for use on their recently redesigned website.
The challenge was to combine the brands of each social network with the simple single-colour design aesthetic that the BBC brand demands.
User interface design for two versions of Silverback usability testing software for Mac (collaborating with Jon Hicks). Designed and prototyped Silverbackapp.com, developed groundbreaking ‘parallax’ effect that went on to be imitated across the web.
