I've worked closely with Ryan at Trip20 for many years now, as a freelancer and also within my role at Never Know Defeat, the studio I run with a business partner. The work for Ryan has been incredibly far ranging, and over the years has included UI design, branding, illustration, web design, marketing materials and presentation production.Trip20 have given me the fantastic opportunity to work on projects for clients including FootLocker, PUMA, Nike & Chobani.

As a freelancer working remotely for Suscito from the UK, I was lucky enough to produce website designs & identity proposals. Working with interesting clients including sustainable government bodies to local authorities, Suscito were a wonderful team to work with in a freelance capacity.

I produced marketing and in-game promotional materials for a wide array of Playfish / EA social media IP's, including the Sims Social, FIFA, Restaurant City, Pet Society & Risk. Working in a small design team, and co-ordinating closely with the marketing & game teams, I helped produce marketing materials within frequently minimal timeframes. The role also involved working with Playfish studios in the US & Asia, to ensure deadlines were met, correct artwork was supplied & used, and that assets were readily available.
