• From Start To Finish

  22nd October 2022

  I’ve been thinking about documenting my workflow for some time so here is a breakdown of how I tend to work these days at the agency. Not every project runs the same and might have more stages or less but this is a rough idea of how it all works. Discovery As a designer, I […]

• The importance of prototyping

  22nd January 2021

  They say a picture tells 1000 words. Well a prototype answers over 1000 questions. I have prototyped for years whether the project needed it or not. Most if not all my work is done in CSS and HTML with a smattering of jQuery. Responsive web design has kind of forced it on to us in […]
