Following a corporate rebrand, the London Stock Exchange Group commissioned a complete overhaul of their intranet site. Working with their branding agency to understand the new style guidelines, I set about adapting them to create a related interface. In the process the new site addressed fundamental issues with the user experience, particularly in the navigation design and information architecture. Project approval required rounds of presentations and sign-off at board level, following which I oversaw the site development and final migration.

VUE Cinema's digital magazine for tablets was in its infancy when I joined the team at Publicis Blueprint to help with getting to grips with the format and develop the first few issues. The magazine was created using Adobe's DPS tools – which at the time was at the forefront of digital publishing design (hard to believe now, only a few short years later). Features were devised to make the most of the interactivity, video content, and to drive readers to book tickets in app.

Apps were in their infancy when British Airways approached my then agency to produce an app that they could push out to staff showcasing the investment they were making in Terminal 5. We had no internal app-building expertise so partnered with an external software provider, who had to teach one rather novice digital designer how to use it. Somehow, a mere five weeks after receiving the brief, I delivered a fully-functioning product that allowed users to explore the impressive new building and tap on individual items for information from a front-line perspective.
The app, pushed out to all employee devices, highlighted the extensive investment BA had made across T5. Users navigated the terminal, tapping individual pins to bring up information overlays.
