Senior Product Designer

Acquia /1 year, 3 Months

I'm currently leading two design projects at Acquia. One is to do with AI, the other is about the unification of Acquia's products. Before these projects I was leading the design of Drupal Canvas, the largest Drupal initiative in years.

In my current role I'm having to understand every single part of our products, and design solutions that work across them all. On top of being an IC, I'm also having to train and mentor other designers to ensure cohesion between all of our products.

Senior Software Engineer

Acquia / 6 years, 3 Months

As a Senior Software Engineer, I primarily worked with React. I was one of the two engineers that built the frontend of Site Studio, a product with $50m ARR. This included building a front-end visual building and editing interface to facilitate content editors and site builders alike.

Prior to being a Senior Software Engineer, I was actually the Head of Training for Site Studio. In this role I was responsible for training customers on how to use the product, how to design websites, and how to build them. This was a very unique role that had me working across design, development, and customer success. It also led to us being acquired by Acquia, which is a story in itself.

There's also been a couple of insane stories like building a project over a weekend that lead to us being acquired. Building an entire website on stage at Acquia Engage. Or recording me building an entire website in a day to land a new customer.

Front-end Web Designer

We Make Websites / 4 Months

In this role I was responsible for designing and building websites for a variety of very cool clients (at least I thought they were cool). It may look like I've not stuck at this job long, but it didn't stop me having a brilliant impact. In this job I worked on multiple Shopify websites. I helped design new features, and I worked on developing them too.

I designed one of my favourite sites I've ever worked on , before leaving I was awarded with employee of the month (I still have the trophy to prove it), they desperately wanted to keep me, but at the time I wasn&apsos;t able to keeo commuting 5 hours a day.

UI/UX Designer & Developer

Pragmatic / 1 year, 11 Months

I moved to this company originally as a developer. I was experience with WordPress, and I helped create some brilliant websites using PHP, Advanced Custom Fields, and good ol' front-end development. After for doing this for around a year, I moved to the design team, as I worked with design outside of my day job. From here I worked with the likes of Bacardi on some fundamental UX work, still used today on all of their websites.

Web Developer

UnitedUS / 6 years, 3 Months

My first job out of University! Here I worked on some incredible sites for small and large businesses alike. Here I worked on full-stack WordPress development (not divi builder, don't worry). Here I was shown how important good design was in making brilliant websites. This was a perfect place to start my career.
