Recent projects
Featured project
Interlock Suture Kits
I built an e-commerce site and online presence for Interlock, a company providing suturing training and kits targeted at medical students.
Interlock suture kits help medical students throughout the UK to develop and improve their practical skills for surgery, working with Universities to deliver training workshops.
They also provide tools and practice pads, and wanted to be able to sell these online.
Bosom Pals
Website design & build
Bosom Pals is a breast cancer charity based in Milton Keynes which supports individuals and families affected by breast cancer. They put on events, raise money, and offer welfare support to members.
Bosom Pals wanted a site to spread awareness and provide information to prospective members about their activities, resources & support available. I designed and developed an accessible, responsive, modern site for their needs.
FACC-IT
Animation/motion design
FACC-IT are an organisation with a mission to amplify and simplify the narrative surrounding climate change. As part of their mission, they wanted to produce some informational videos to summarise the issues at play and encourage viewers to spread awareness about the climate crisis.
We handled graphic, motion, and sound design for the videos, incorporating FACC-IT’s brand and simple, no-nonsense style to deliver a clear and concise message.
Team GB (Men’s Rafting)
Logo design
I designed a logo for one of the teams representing Great Britain at the 2022 IRC World Rafting Championships in Bosnia.
Teams competed internally for the chance to represent the country internationally, and the team representing Britain in the open men’s category wanted a logo. They wanted to incorporate a phoenix into the design, whilst keeping Team GB’s colours. I created a logo Inspired by the existing lion logomark and colours, with a refreshed feel.
About me
Hi! I’m currently a second-year undergrad at the University of Bristol, studying Computer Science with Innovation - which aims to combine the technical aspects of my core discipline with modern working approaches, entrepreneurial skills, and creative thinking.
Alongside my course, I also enjoy various creative endeavours including photography, design, and music - these are a great source of inspiration and creative outlets for me, and help me to enjoy being creative with no external pressure.
I love being outdoors and keeping physically active, I find that working out and spending time outside helps me to switch off from day-to-day stress and improves my focus. I’m quite a goal-oriented and self-motivated person - and this reflects my attitude to exercise, you should check out that one time I decided to bike home from uni!
I like to think this all plays into my work - providing me with inspiration & balance, generating motivation & drive, as well as valuable team-working and project-management skills. I’m always learning and improving, and I enjoy overcoming the unique challenges presented by each new project.
