I am a London-based web designer with over 10 years commercial experience. After a few years freelancing, I have returned to fulltime employment and am currently at Nature Publishing Group. I work across a wide-range of academic science journals where I create strictly accessible sites that validate to W3C Standards.
I am passionate about user experience, online community building and visual communication. I enjoy being involved from concept to completion on projects and thrive on contributing to how sites work not just how they look. I am a member of an average number of social networking sites. You can find me on flickr, facebook, del.ico.us and last.fm. When I am not online, I can usually be found in the company of Lola.
