Hi, I’m Max.

A professional digital designer since 2003. Started my career working in agencies back when layouts meant tables and the first tech bubble had only just popped, then a move to the capital for a glorious decade or so of freelance and contracting.

A trip round the world, landing in Bristol for start-ups and SASS and the new world of post-lockdown opportunities. Along the way I’ve worked for a hugely diverse range of clients, from the very biggest multi-nationals, to fledgling enterprises, tech scale-ups and charities for good measure.

I’ve been lucky to work with all manner of projects for a huge variety of brands. From designing for websites, banners, animations, to mobiles, tablets, touchscreens and hands-free devices, I’ve always relished the challenge of creating compelling experiences for the user.

I’m well-versed in getting creative using Sketch, Figma, Adobe XD and the CS suite. With extensive experience of building out wireframes, user-flows and prototypes through to developer-ready hi-def layouts, working end-to-end on any project is no problem.

And whilst a designer at heart, I’m no stranger to getting hands-on in the codebase, working with engineers to bring together the pieces for intuitive interactions and interfaces, be that using React, Angular, Vue, RoR or PHP.

I love to take on new challenges and embrace exciting opportunities across the digital space.

When not working I love adventures outside, be that surfing, cycling, climbing, snowboarding or hiking. I’m also rather keen on Lego, dancing, tea, and proper cider.
