Why you should work with me

Powered by Fusion

If you’re sat here reading this, then my hope is that you’re interested in working with me so here’s an insight into how I work and why you should get in touch.

Principles I design by

Planning, planning, planning ...
Early and thorough planning always reaps rewards later in a project.
  1. Design is all about identifying and solving problems
  2. Users should always leave a website with their goals achieved
  3. Always ask “why?” – Not to be awkward but to cut to the chase and avoid project bloat
  4. Make things as simple as possible and avoid clutter
  5. Good design is the result of good preparation and thinking
  6. Good content will always win the day
  7. Plan that content before you design anything
  8. I believe sketching, wireframing and rapid prototyping then deploying in quick release cycles is usually the most efficient way to work
  9. There is no such thing as one true layout, grid or framework.
  10. Each project is unique and should be planned as such
  11. If it’s not fun, you’re doing it wrong

So, hopefully that’s given you a quick overview of me as a person and designer. If you’ve not been put off completely, please do get in touch!
