Honestly, there’s not much I’ve not designed. Brands, interfaces, websites, graphics and (digital) products.
20 years of pixel pushing.
I have been designing since graduating in 2005. (That’s 19 years, 10 months, 19 days!)
Initially freelance. I then spent around 7 years in design and marketing agencies doing digital design from brand identity to website design and build, from email marketing to graphic design and everything in between. I then returned to freelance for 3 more years before taking a senior UX role at a product company in Copenhagen. After a year, I returned to the UK and worked for almost 8 years as Head of Design and subsequently Creative Director for a data-driven product and business intelligence organisation.
I have been very hands-on since the start of my career, but was also part of the Brainnwave leadership and executive team as well as managing a direct report. I have provided mentorship for junior designers and even facilitated work experience placements.

Nice people, saying very nice things.
Alex was exceptional. He showed creative vision and was always pushing us forward in evolving our product, our UX and corporate identity. He always delivered on time (in most cases ahead of time) and was a great member of the leadership team.
Alex was a very supportive manager... I learned a lot from our time working together, always felt I could come to him with questions or for advice and feel very grateful for the trust and faith he put in me in my first official product design role.
I quickly discovered his professional & understanding nature. Despite his seniority, he never imposed unnecessary pressure on me and instead created an atmosphere of collaboration and growth.
Alex has a knack for simplifying and communicating high level conceptual ideas.
