About

Hey 👋 I'm Paul, a Front-end Designer & Developer.

I've been a Developer since 2020 and a Designer for over 10 years. I work in the Digital Products team at the Barbican and spend my time creating better website experiences.

Before 2020, I worked as a Designer 👨‍🎨 in the Barbican Design Studio.

What have I made

I built this site! It's made in Astro using functional components and a few APIs (mainly Trello and Spotify). I use Trello to organise case my studies and pull cool tunes from Spotify.

I'm currently building an events management app (in Vue 3) for the Barbican and recently finished building sparkthecannon.com in Next.js.

Take a look at my resume page for more examples.

How did I get here

For me, design and development are about communicating ideas, removing obstacles and bringing joy where possible.

I began by working in print design (at Skye Creative and Brandwave) before joining the Barbican as a Junior Designer in 2013. From there I moved further into digital design, creating trailers for the in-house cinemas and animating HTML5 advertising.

During those years, I also began mentoring a young designer (Ernest Wereko) and built the website/brand for 36 Bourne Street. This was the start of my journey into professional web development, and I began studying the Full Stack Javascript Techdegree at TeamTreehouse.com.
