I am an experienced web designer who also works occasionally as a graphic designer and photographer and am obsessive about music, and as well as performing live at many events including festivals and a European tour, have recently created music for computer games. I grew up in an artistic family, studied Fine Art all the way to degree level and then got into computers, did a short course in website design and landed a job designing and building pages for a major fashion company. This lead to a 15 year career in designing and building websites, both permanent and freelance. Then 5 years ago I took a career break to look after my two amazing children. In this time I did up a house, became a handyman in my spare time and carried on making music, taking photos, and while I learnt how to use Wordpress websites, and build several websites with this, my other web development skills haven't kept up with the latest developments, so I'm looking primarily at design work (while training myself back up to speed). I have of course gained excellent people management skills, especially with little people. My day rate is very low while I get back into work. Take advantage of this!

Industry Experience

Education, Media & Entertainment, Non-Profit Organization, Retail, Financial Services, Healthcare
    uniE621 Tate Britain Francis Bacon Interactive Website
    A large interactive website built in Flash, to promote a Francis Bacon exhibition at Tate Britain. It allowed the user to fly around the exhibition from room to room with video, audio, images and text. It was the most successful piece of work I created for Tate Gallery. #webdesigner #illustrator #designer #developer
    uniE621 B'spoke Coffee House Ltd. Website
    Designed and built a website for boutique coffee company, using Wordpress. Budget was very tight, so rather than design from scratch, I took an existing theme and adapted it to their requirements, and taught them how to update the site themselves. They were extremely happy with the result, and I'm lucky enough to get free coffee when I visit.
    uniE621 Tate Archives Naum Gabo Interactive
    A large interactive Flash website that allowed you to explore and learn about the work and life of artist Naum Gabo. Created for Tate Archive, and the most complex piece of work I did for Tate Online. Included working with other departments and managing a researcher who helped gather relevant content. #graphicdesigner #illustrator #webdesigner #designer
    uniE621 Misterben Business Cards
    While a full time parent, I started a sideline of being a handyman during school hours. For this I created my own website and related publicity material including business cards (photoshopped here to remove my mobile). This included photography, and all editing, printing preparation and leasing with the printers. #graphicdesigner #branding #designer
    uniE621 Jacamo fashion web page design
    I designed day to day fashion pages for a number of websites, including Jacamo, Simply Be, JD Williams, PremierMan and others. My role was to take images and text and turn them into promotional web pages that were published on their website, often with a very short turnover, going live within hours. It was a fast paced environment with lots of tasks running concurrently.
    uniE621 Website Designer
    I worked as a Website Designer for the Tate Gallery in London for 4.5 years. My primary job function was to support the exhibitions with bespoke websites that helped promote and inform users of the content of each show, while complementing print materials (from the print department) #webdesigner #designer
    uniE621 Birthday Party Invite
    Fun little project for my son's birthday. I took photos of him and his sister posing with Nerf guns, then photoshopped their clothes to remove labels and change clothes colours, and edited a street photo to be block shapes and added suitable text. I finished off by adding sparkles in the sunglasses and blotches and imperfections with photoshop plugins to give a more battered feel, #graphicdesigner #designer #photo
