Grand Union Information architecture templates

August 18th, 2008

Whilst working as a freelance Information Architect at Grand Union I was responsible for developing a set of IA templates that will form the basis of a branded IA toolbox for use across every IA project within the agency. The idea was to improve the consistency and quality of the templates and to ensure that each client experiences the same high quality. This involved redeveloping the existing Visio templates and creating new stencil files based on the Yahoo Design Pattern Library.

Together London Limited

August 17th, 2008

I have recently been in discussions with Together London about collaborating with them on forthcoming web projects. The idea behind the company is to put together a team of highly-skilled individuals who work together in a flexible and more efficient way. By being more agile, cutting out a lot of the inefficiencies that occur in larger agencies we can deliver higher quality projects, more quickly and cheaply.

Playing the guitar again

August 17th, 2008

I recently picked up the guitar again after a few years of hardly playing and have been getting back into playing. I started playing when I was about 14 years old, being taught firstly by a neighbour, then having a few lessons at school, and then mostly learning by listening to music and playing along.

Luckily I still have 2 Epiphone guitars that I have kept in good condition over the years. Hopefully with a little more practice I’ll get back to previous form and possibly even improve.
