About

Work

I’m a designer interested in user experience, privacy, accessibility, sustainability and ethics. I’ve been running a studio in various formats since 2013.

Active Projects

I’ve run my Five Links newsletter since 2022. Every Thursday, I send a short email with five interesting links and a comment or extract from each.

Design Process interviews

Despite the internet being filled with thousands of tutorials on specific areas of design, there isn’t much written by designers about their process. This series of design process interviews looks to explore how people go about their work, and share some great tips and perspectives along the way.

Unoffice Hours Webring

I’ve been running Unoffice Hours for a few years. The Unoffice Hours Webring is a way to connect the people running these sessions. If you run Unoffice Hours, you’re welcome to join.

Archived Projects

Most of my projects were archived in 2023.

Below Radar

I was interested in exploring how businesses can become less reliant on Facebook, Google and marketing techniques that fuel surveillance capitalism. Below Radar was a space for freelancers and business owners share their experiences of doing this.

No To Spy Pixels is a campaign to raise awareness about the pixels embedded in our emails. The site helps people take action and raise the issue with companies and organisations.

Work Notes

I created Work Notes in January 2019. This grew from a series of blog posts on my work site to a multi-faceted project.

The site features a popular Pricing Guide, Freelance Guide and hosted an international community of over 700 freelancers.

I don’t do much public speaking, but I have appeared on some podcasts, including:
