Whilst working on a pitch for a top London design agency, I was involved with developing a new information architecture for the Energy Saving Trust.

The work involved reviewing the existing website channels from an IA, usability, accessibility and user experience perspective and making recommendations of how to improve the websites.

The pitch work is in the process of being submitted and fingers crossed the said agency will win the bid.

London 2012 website Information Architecture pitch

February 15th, 2009

Whilst working on a pitch for a top London design agency, I was involved with developing a new information architecture for the London 2012 Olympics website.

The work involved reviewing the existing website from an IA, usability, accessibility and user experience perspective and making recommendations of how to improve it.

I worked closely alongside the creative team to ensure the IA vision was delivered and the resulting designs conformed to usability and accessibility best practice.

The result of our combined efforts is a solid pitch document that I hope will win the said agency the contract.

Shire competitive analysis

February 15th, 2009

Whilst working at Bostock and Pollitt I was asked to undertake a competitive analysis for their client, Shire (a pharmaceuticals company).

Usually I would conduct such an analysis and present the results in visual fashion using Adobe Illustrator. In this instance, due to time constraints and the way in which the information was going to be presented (in a Powerpoint presentation) I developed an Excel spreadsheet that scored each website against a set of usability, accessibility and user experience criteria. A total was then calculated for the site as a whole and used to rank it against the competitors.
