I worked at Chemistry (since acquired by Publicis) from 2007-2010, and in my role as a Senior Designer, lead the interactive design and art direction of a range of marketing sites and other digital projects for clients including Velvet, Aviva, RAC, Baileys, D-Link and Orange.
In 2009, following a successful redesign of their map user interface, I was briefly shipped out to Norwich by Chemistry Communcations where I worked in-house, working to both document and create page templates for a full site re-design.
This interactive piece was designed for a Roadshow to introduce attendants to a range of financial planning options based on a set of demographic parameters that they could input using fun, tactile devices. I worked on the interface designs and animation with a Flash developer from an original idea from the Aviva creative team at Chemistry.
A microsite aimed at children housing an environment in which users can explore, play minigames and build up a file of knowledge about plants and animals. My role involved developing the initial digital concept and experience architecture from the Experiential Department’s concept, advising on the art direction as applied to digital, layout and interactive design, and flash animation of characters. An illustrator was commissioned to deliver illustrations of all the trees and the backdrops for four different seasons. These were then composited into layered, parallax files, for each of the seasons, which responded to the user’s mouse movements to reveal elements hidden amongst the trees.
