IDEAS MAKE ME HAPPY

The initial challenge was to map out the client's hand written

description of the divorce mediation process as it happens

without the assistance of technology and imagine what that

might look like as a user journey

amicableDIVORCEmediation app

www.amicable.io

We produced a

comprehensive set

of wireframes that

tackled the

problem at

a conceptual level


I ran workshops to unpack their brand

values and we designed their logo and

visual guidelines which would be

implemented into their website and app


I produced two weeks of user testing to gauge whether the

concept would work and to gather reactions to the various

features

From here we devised an MVP from the initial scope in line

with the testing feedback and started adjusting the wireframes

and implementing designs


The client requested a modern feel that was authoritative yet

fresh, not too austere and not to glib. We broadly applied

Google's material design principals to achieve this goal


The product enters build stage in January 2016 and will exist in

live BETA form with the objective of securing funding beyond

their initial seed round


LSBUINTRANETPRODUCT DESIGN

The specification provided by LSBU

contained an extensive list of

requirements. The challenge was how to

organise this broad list of functions, meet

their desire to do everything within a

single product and find a simple technical

solution


I designed a dynamic search interface as opposed to a menu system to be the primary navigation device

I devised a space that would act as a hub for the various applications they used

Despite the complexity of the product I wanted a spacious welcoming design that felt simple and intuitive



Using the search box the user can filter

the system to return queries based on

the information they want to access or

the function they want to perform

The system administrator can tag

notifications against relevant search

terms to create promoted results

An example of this might be to alert the

company of changes to their pay date

by tagging against the term "payslip"


The project is still ongoing but here are some examples of the current design

In 2010 I pitched the owner of a

revolutionary print on demand

footwear process a business

plan to take his technology to

the music merchandise industry

Together we built the business

and designed the ecommerce

platform on which we retailed

our footwear

A lot of the design went into the

back end functionality and

admin structure but we

also produced a flexible shop

design that was simple to

navigate and importantly, music

genre neutral

The site took orders for the

manufacturing team to receive,

producing the product to be

sent out to the customer within

the same day

I devised an avatar to speak for

each genre of music we

serviced. The brand could stay

neutral but allow us to align

ourselves with each type of

music's fans

Reader's Digest revamped and

redesigned their online shop in

2014/15

I helped map the product

categories to the new site whilst

supervising and guiding the work

of the UX designer

The task wasn't to innovate,

rather to bring the shop up to

date with current conventions

Action 2015's Light the way

event asked people to support

an end to poverty and inequality

I took the client's brief and hand

drawn sketches, committed them

to a wireframe and site structure

before the build reached out to

supporters worldwide

IDEAS MAKE ME HAPPY

As a kid I was an avid birdwatcher. I kind of gave it up when I hit my

teens but have a crisp memory of the books I used to used to identify the

birds and my notepad where I kept a record of what I'd seen

The birding apps on the market aren't very good. So I thought I'd create

my own specification and conceptualise a product which might work for

the RSPB
