Day to day...
Side projects and more day to day designs. Here's a peek into what I get up to when i'm not working on big tentpole projects.
Exploring AI
Cursor, Lovable, ChatGPT, Claude. Im currently exploring how I might use AI in design, with this proof of concept project aimed at small businesses with a small distributed supply chain. Creating real working prototypes and testing them in real world scenarios.
Redefining Browse
A refresh of the River Island mobile and desktop menus. I lead the discovery, design and validation of this solution to give customers a simple way to browse the extensive product offering at River Island.
CapSet.
A side project to build my skillset. CapSet makes sharing photo metadata on social media a breeze! I am designing the the app and building out UI and micro-interactions in Swift UI.
Product Badging
Product badging surfaces relevant information for the customer. As the design lead I identified problems in our use of language and developed a new framework for simple and understandable product badging.
Photo Studio Guidelines
I collaborated with our trading and photo studio teams to update our e-commerce photography so that our customers get as much visual information as possible to make an informed purchase.

What I get up to on the weekends...
Outside of work, I'm often found out in the centre of London, in the woods or on the beach taking photos of dogs. I am an avid photographer, I focus mainly on fine art pet portraiture!
