Hello. I currently work as a freelance interaction designer in London. At the minute, I'm a full-time contractor for a design studio called BERG. So far I've worked across graphic design for print and screen; animation; user interface design for websites, desktop software and mobile; music and sound design, and interactive installations and toys. I graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2006 with a MA in Interaction Design. From 2006-2007 I worked for Matt Jones in a user experience team at Nokia. I then worked as Lead Interaction Designer for Last.fm from 2007-2009. During my art college years I worked for individual clients and studios such as Airside and Engage. I try to have a few personal projects going in my spare time. I play an occasional DJ set restricted to recently-deceased artists, titled This Is Dead Good. More recently, I have been looking at the links between open source product design and music education with Singing Sock Puppets. I also suffer from the delusion that one day, after seven years at art college, I might form a band.
