| Lola is a post production house based in London, the site is a simple interaction device of a pack of cards was given a little twist. The site allows the visitor to go backwards and forwards through the work, and play videos within the site. The biggest technical achievement was an intelligent loading system whereby the site would start to load images wherever you were in the stack, and then go back and find the next images once the ones in view were downloaded. / |
| SurfaceView is a leading specialist in screen and digital print, searching out dramatic images that lend themselves to home or commercial interiors. We created a flash environment based on a room set, with each section taking a different place in the area; users can browse the collections, view them in-situ, and then customise them using their own dimensions. They are then sent an email showing visually showing their specification and Surface View then liaising with them to make it a reality SurfaceView was featured in Creative Review's The Annual. / |
| I've created the sites for Furlined and their sister LA company FMV who creating elegant solutions for their respective commercial and promo production companies. A favourite part of this site is how I made Si Scott's logotype interactive - have a play! / |
| Created with madeThought, I was entrusted to create the site for their client Established & Sons - As madeThought came up with requests for the design I was agile enough to adapt to their requests. Much of the elements coming through starting the build really early on, and adding features and touches along the way. These included really thinking core pieces of interaction, from how the site would react to the back button being pressed, up to the clever search functionality, and all accomplished without leaving the overall theme of the site. 2011 saw the inclusion of an iPad friendly extension to the site. / |
| I originally created a site for Blinkart, and now this has been expanded to the whole group of Blink. The sites allow the user to view the work, simple and elegantly, the user can browse the site, or filter through artists, and the pages layout automatically... all without Flash!

| Major Tom is a new company dedicated to producing exceptional music solutions for the advertising, TV and film industries. I applied some simple but effective interaction ideas to the visuals supplied by their graphic designer to produce an elegant website, I also did the same for their completely bespoke blog.

| FinalCut have been a client of mine for over 5 years, I designed their last site and content management system. They have since started using Wiredrive (an industry standard in digital video delivery) and wanted to integrate this system as well as designing a new site. A number of technical challenges resulted in an elegant solution where Flash was combined with Ajax, overlaying movies on top of a Flash website... Have a look and spot the join :) / |
| Working with film director Simon Pummell, I created the online version of his film, Bodysong, a film of mans life made up from stock footage. The site allows you to fly through and find out the story behind every clip. and won a BAFTA award for interaction design, it is no longer online, but comes with the DVD. / |
| Requirements have changed since the introduction of the iPad. Flash has become a bit of a swearword in some places, so I'm finding new projects are not using Flash, and although it has it's place, I'm finding that experimentation with jQuery is showing that you can achieve good things without Flash. / |
| I've been lucky enough to have worked with Studio aka on a number of projects, one of which - 'Compaq Bird', won a silver at the D&AD awards. I also built their original site back in 1999, and I'm back again.
Some interesting stuff about this project is the way in which it detects the users screen dimensions, and the number of images to be shown and loads the relevant size, and with a clever bit of programming you see the images at their best. / |
| V&A Reading Rooms is a stand alone, off-site bookshop which incorporates a wine bar. I created a simple elegant HTML site to promote the launch in November 2010, and am continuing to evolve the site at present. / |
