Most of my high profile work was done whilst working at agencies. Due to privacy agreements or copyrights I cannot display these on public domain. You can still view these pieces on my private portfolio. Simply request a viewing and I will send you the login details.

Public portfolio Screenshot of Ana Barreto Interiors website Description

Website designed and coded for Ana Barreto Interiors

Live since 2007, the website has attracted interest from all over the globe. Ana's main concern was that people in her line of business don't have much time to browse websites, when looking for new pieces. Therefore a decision was made to place all of her catalogue on the homepage. The challenge was to make it appealing and informative, rather than confusing.

Ana is one of those rare clients that entrusts all the creative side of things to you, without meddling too much. As Palladio puts it "Every patron thinks he's an architect, so one must learn to compromise". Ana was the exception to this rule, and I enjoyed quite a bit of creative freedom - which I think I used responsibly. You can see it live here

Public portfolio Screenshot of Bear Print website Description

Website designed and coded for BearPrint

The concept behind BearPrint is a no frills, easy to use, business card printing service. They offer several types of business cards and wanted to highlight this, as well as have their pricing clearly visible.

They were a really enjoyable client to work with, and we were all happy with the end result.

Public portfolio Screenshot of TV guide blog Description

Blog designed and coded for TvGuide.co.uk

The good people at TvGuide got me on board to develop a blog that would integrate seemingly into their website, and keep their brand essence intact.

The biggest challenge was perhaps building the blog using WordPress whilst keeping intact all the features (ads, tracking, etc...) from the mother site - which was built in ASP.

Public portfolio Screenshot of T-shirts da Candonga Description

E-commerce site designed and coded for Candonga

Candonga was an experiment to build an e-commerce website using the CafePress platform. I get lots of people asking if I can design CafePress online shops, so thought it would be a good idea to create one and play around with it. I designed the t-shirts as well.
