Interview with CHC Digital
Designer Interview
13 May 2014
From an early age I had a burning desire to find out how things work. As a result, I started to take things apart to create new designs. My perspective on design is that it is more than just aesthetics. It is how you create an informative, easy to use and compelling user experience. It also allows me as a designer to harness the power of technology and apply it in the most innovative way. I get truly excited by converting creative ideas into digital solutions. This ensures the aesthetics are beautifully conveyed and appropriately evolved within the digital space.

Raymond Lowey’s S1 Steam Locomotive. He was way ahead of his time in regards to design, adding scientific thought to his innovative designs. His legacy and thought process has inspired countless designers including myself.
I designed added functionality to improve the user experience for Bentley owners.
Most coding language has an infinite amount of possibilities. PHP offers more than most.
When there is a problem that doesn't seem to have an answer.
I focus on simplicity, usability and shareability.
Design is an escape for me. I can cut out all my surroundings and concentrate on producing something that can help people. I am hugely passionate about my designs and aim to produce innovative designs that are impactful as well as providing an enjoyable user experience each and every time.
It is always a gratifying experience when my work is realized.
Functionality. I believe that without functionality a design, no matter how complex, will be rendered useless. If you can achieve the right balance between functionality and simplicity then you'll have a greater chance of success.
I consider the impact the design will have on people and what sets it apart from other designs in the same category. What does this design have that others don’t? If a design has similar properties to others, why should I invest my time or money into it?
