Wizzo & Co. is a talent agency for the video production industry that required a website to serve as a home for their roster of talent. Some of the features they required were to provide a profile for the talent and allow users to create a shortlist of the talent that they would like to work with. I was involved in the production from the start, working alongside the designer to provide insight into how functionality could inform the design. We aimed to prioritize video content and delight the user with a fantastic video viewing experience and fun user interactions. It also required a "shortlist" functionality, whereby users could add their desired talent to the list and email it to their desired person.

It is a high traffic and high turnover website and utilizes the best practices in security and performance.

Morgans Dairy is a local dairy that delivers across London and Surrey and required a website that displayed their services and allowed customers to check if they were within the delivery catchment area and to place orders for delivery. The user could check to see if their postcode was within the catchment area and also see which days the company delivered to that particular postcode. The user could also build out a list of their desired products and email this to Morgans Dairy via the "Order" page. Overall, the client could not be happier with the final result. Since launch, they have seen a boost in website traffic, orders made, and an improved internal administrative process for their company.

The goal of the site was to bring the new chocolate bars to life, along with displaying the vital information about nutrition and ingredients in a clear way. It also included a store locator where users could find out the nearest place to their current location to purchase NOMO chocolate.

Currently in its beta stages, but soon to be launching, I have created an online Journalling application built using Node.js, Express.js, and MongoDB. It was built to allow users to journal their lives in a secure, safe, private online space, a change in the non-stop publication of lives on social media. It makes use of markdown, to give the users the ability to add images and style their journal entry for a richer journalling experience. There will be a small yearly fee to use the app but this is purely to cover the cost of hosting, which will make use of the Stripe API. Although not yet quite finished, the functionality is very close to completion, and once finalized, a sleek design will then be applied.

The design included an animated gradient background, a number of micro-interactions, and bursts of color to add interest across the site and highlight the key services. For the booking system, we settled on software called MindBody which allowed for a seamless booking process for the customer.

After extensive research, a number of suggestions were made, including design and functionality improvements to the subscription process, emails, and paywalls. The existing system was complex and required thorough research to understand exactly how it was working and how best to apply the changes to the code. The improvements made to the site resulted in boosted conversions and an increase in overall traffic to the website.

Their goal is to make the treatment readily available to everyone. The aim of the site was to improve their online presence by creating a modern and informative website that allowed users to make donations. The website provides information about the different aspects of the charity in a visually appealing way and provides a call to action for the user to make a donation. The donation page provides a suggested amount of fields and the difference that it would make. The form makes use of the WorldPay API and also integrates with the WordPress backend, saving donations in the database to help with administration in the backend.

Soho Estates covers large parts of Soho in London, from restaurants to offices. Their tenants reflect the vibrant mix found in London’s creative city. The goal for the new website was to reflect their new branding on a portfolio website that displayed the array of buildings they own across London and enhance their online presence.
The key areas of the site focused on their estate portfolio and photography. Having these photos of iconic areas of Soho helped present them as one of the top real estate companies.

Partly to learn and partly because I needed one, I decided to build a personal organizer using only vanilla JavaScript to keep track of my to-do's on a calendar. As you can see from the below video, the calendar uses small circles to identify when a day's to-do list had been complete or incomplete. The calendar also stretches as far into the future as needed so tasks could be set years in advance if needed! The design was also considered from the beginning of the build and I was keen to give it a sleek and minimal feel. I also added a feature that allowed me to change the background of it in case I got bored with the current one! Coding the calendar provided a number of interesting challenges including; the day of the month had to correlate with the row of days above it, the calendar needed to be as large as the user required, the to-dos needed to be stored on the correct days and many more.
