  1. Inugo Inugo — The Inugo app allows your to find, park and pay for parking from you phone. I worked with the team to design their marketing website. The focus was to create a striking looking site that could easily guide their users to the correct engagement channel. Either front-end users (of the app) or potential parking operator partners. They love the isometric style and will continue to develop this de...

  5. Taming EDTF... Taming EDTF... — The Extended Date/Time Format enables very specific and very non-specific dates. For example, 19th October 2017 or also circa 1810. This is my take on an input interface.

  9. New Zealand Bloodstock New Zealand Bloodstock — Working closely with the client, we came up with a design strategy that would offer visitors a reliable source of authoritative information, combined with an elegant user experience. A much more modern and updated look when compared to other thoroughbred auction sites across the web. We used modern design patterns and themes while still providing the elegant and trustworthy look that their cli...

Special attention was given to table design and filtering options as these are used frequently and needed to be usable across multiple sc...
