I design and build websites and digital tools that help to solve real challenges
I'm a Service and User Experience Designer who works collaboratively to create lightweight, accessible websites and apps that make everyday tasks easier. I work exclusively with organisations creating positive social and environmental impact — turning ideas into practical tools that save time, improve efficiency, and serve people's needs.
Recent projects
Middlesbrough Tools Workshop Website
An accessible website for a community-focussed workshop, clearly communicating what the project offers to people who may want to be involved or support.

Accessible, user-centred website bringing together voluntary sector partners, NHS and Stockton Council under one digital roof — making it easier for people in Stockton to find mental health and wellbeing support.
About me
I'm a Service and User Experience Designer who specialises in designing, prototyping and testing products and services to ensure they're straightforward, accessible, consistent and respectful.
Accessibility is non-negotiable. I'm passionate about removing barriers and going beyond WCAG guidelines to ensure people using assistive technologies can genuinely use what's been built.
I work collaboratively, facilitating workshops and bringing together stakeholders with compassion and professionalism. When projects need additional expertise, I partner with trusted specialists to deliver comprehensive solutions.
Let's talk about your project
My work
A selection of projects spanning accessible websites, web apps, and digital tools — all built for purpose-led organisations.
Wellbeing Hub
Accessible website bringing together NHS, council, and voluntary sector partners to make mental health support easier to find in Stockton.
Middlesbrough Tools Workshop
Lightweight, accessible website helping a community charity communicate their offer to potential participants, referrers, and funders.
Solar calculations tool
Web-based calculator that automates complex Ofgem submissions for a renewable energy company, saving several hours per installation.
Rice recipe finder
Ingredient-first recipe tool at the heart of a national brand campaign — driving a 75% increase in site engagement and 43% uplift in online sales.
Trigonometry trainer
Co-designed learning tool for a secondary school maths department, helping KS4 students understand the process behind trigonometry calculations.
Image resizer
Drag-and-drop browser app that reduced image preparation for a content publishing team from several minutes to a few seconds.
Services
I offer a range of design and development services, always with accessibility and sustainability at the core. When projects require additional expertise, I collaborate with trusted partners to deliver comprehensive solutions.
App design and development
I design and create lightweight web applications that solve real-world problems. Fast, responsive, and user-friendly tools built for the browser.
Website design and development
I design and create websites that answer user needs and organisational goals, built with accessibility and performance as standard.
Design research
I conduct research to understand the problem that needs solving, using interviews, workshops, and test sessions to inform the design direction.
Digital accessibility training
I provide training on digital accessibility, helping people who create anything digitally to ensure it's inclusive and usable by everyone.
Collaborative partnerships
When projects require expertise beyond my own capabilities, I work with trusted specialist partners:
- Innovation Scout — Idea generation and design thinking workshops for innovation projects
- UserLab — In-depth user research, research participant recruitment, and extensive usability testing programmes
- Brainbox Studios — Comprehensive branding and graphic design services for major brand development projects
My approach
Every project starts with understanding the challenge. I move quickly from idea to working prototype, so you can see progress early and shape the result. I believe useful software doesn't have to be complicated.
Accessibility as standard
I ensure everything meets WCAG AA standards as a minimum, but I go further to genuinely test with assistive technologies and ensure real usability for everyone.
Sustainable by design
I write lightweight, efficient code that uses minimal energy. Lower bandwidth means faster loading, reduced costs, and a smaller carbon footprint. I host on renewable energy-powered servers.
User-centred process
I involve real users throughout — from initial research through to testing prototypes and the final product. This ensures what I build genuinely serves people's needs.
Collaborative working
I design and deliver engaging workshops that bring stakeholders together. I work with compassion, curiosity and professionalism, and bring in specialist partners when needed.
Typical project process
Timeline: Most apps start with a simple prototype in 2 to 3 weeks, with full builds taking 1 to 2 months depending on complexity.
