Built a highly interactive React Native app to visualize live office building availability. Combined real-time data from multiple APIs and defined the technical approach for the app and built out features to create a polished user experience.

A web app to allow music booking agencies to manage bookings, generate contracts and invoices, and book flights all in one place.

I helped this early stage start-up turn their prototype into an MVP. Building UI components in React, leading front-end technical architecture in Redux and working to define and implement best-practices for their Node.js Express-based APIs.

After receiving a set of full designs, I worked closely with the founder and a back-end developer to prioritize a product roadmap that allowed the product to be tested with potential users as quickly as possible. By creating a reusable component library in the design's visual language, new features could be added by all developers in the team by composing components.

A design-led web app that makes the boring and complex document conversion process fun and easy. I worked with the lead designer to prototype and implement a new user interface for the core upload, processing, and download flow of the app. This included prototyping animation, and considering responsive layouts. The design is still used today, several years later.

An interactive installation about data privacy.

It was first exhibited at Mozilla Festival and was installed in the London Design Museum after being shortlisted for a Design of the Year award. I built-out the technical infrastructure in Node.js, with a web-based UI and Raspberry Pi computers inside customized photo frames to hold sensors.

"At a time when our society is exploring what our technology can do and the social power that data has, it is incredibly important that we are creatively making data tangible and readable by humans"
