About

For over 9 years I have been providing my skills in design and front-end development to Shelton Development Services in the UK. I'm proud to have worn many hats and have worked in various other areas including UI/UX design, email design, graphic design and project management.

I'm now looking for my next role where I can continue working at the intersection of code, design and art and improve my knowledge and exposure to design systems and component libraries.
