Hello, I’m Joshua.
I design, prototype and build interfaces.

This site will walk you through a couple of my most recent projects, show you some earlier work, then talk a bit about my beliefs and influences.

I created a single responsive design to combine made.com’s desktop & mobile sites.

Made is a designer furniture brand with an annual turnover above £40m. All their sales are made through the website.

Information Architecture

I created low-fidelity mockups to let project teams agree on the broad strokes of information design without the distraction of cosmetic detail.

UX & Flow Design Prototyping

I presented usable flow prototypes from day one. Working in rapid, collaborative cycles of testing, feedback and design iteration gets me further.

Early results are overwhelmingly positive- we saw a 30% uplift in mobile conversion, and a 40% reduction in calls to the help centre.

I worked with The Line of Best Fit to redesign and restructure their site, refreshing the brand and putting content before taxonomy.

The Line of Best Fit is a popular music platform based in London. The site receives over 6m unique visitors per year.

Process

I got ideas down fast, used wireframes to work on modularity, then crafted and iterated designs using real content.

After completing the designs, I built and tested an HTML pattern library with all the necessary components to build the site templates.

Now for some of my earlier work…

I co-founded Shoreditch Works, a London startup co-working community & events business.

  • We raised £90k on Kickstarter
  • 100+ full time members
  • Three central London spaces
  • Events for IBM, Node.js Foundation and more

I co-founded Penrose, a digital consultancy with clients from sectors including health, property, education, personal data, geopolitics and charity.

  • Enabled CTRLio to raise £1m in funding and launch their first product
  • Virgin Business innovation award for work with the Anna Freud Centre

In my spare time, I like to experiment with geometry…

…design fonts

…and take photos

A few fragments of my design philosophy…

Look for desire paths: ideal designs are revealed through use.

Use the power of standardisation, repetition, interoperability.

Humane design is lasting, functional, ergonomic.

I’d love to hear from you.
