Infocow
Infocow connects young people with useful stuff to help take control of life - sites, stories, information and inspiration.
Worked on the front end code and UI design with Nicolas Alpi and Ed Davey developing the back end on this project for Futurelab. Was a great experience with lots of brilliant feedback and user testing done by Futurelab feeding into the Agile development methodology we use here at Jiva.
Survive or Thrive 2010
A simple Wordpress website to support the Survive or Thrive digital conference put on by JISC. The work included creating a custom Wordpress plug in to allow easy updating and display of the shifting agenda on a day to day basis.
Was pleased to be able to do a design based on Conway’s Game of Life. The pixel shapes in the logo are two examples of patterns that are either static (survive) or create exponential growth (thrive) using the standard rules of the game.
Tutorhub
The project I have been product managing and designing for nearly 9 months now has entered private beta. Tutorhub is a website built to connect tutors and students. Built on a number of cutting edge technologies detailed over at the Jiva website this is something new in the market place and allows secure one to one tutoring sessions to take place using a familiar instant messaging interface.
The private beta is now live and we are looking for students and tutors to start testing.
Peter Gabriel – New Blood Tour Visuals
Spent 6 days on a soundstage at Shepperton Studios preparing tour visuals with a great team of talented people for the Peter Gabriel New Blood Tour and I was coding the sound reactive visuals using Processing and the hugely useful Toxiclibs) building on my earlier work.

Womad Shop
Brand new replacement shop for Real World which currently has a 7 figure turnover thanks to the exclusive stocking of WOMAD tickets.
Front and back end rebuilt from the ground up to enable products to be grouped in dynamic ways so digital downloads can be incorporated in the next phase with lots of work done to make the front end as simple as possible to create a higher conversion rate despite the relatively high amount of information required on-screen.
