  I am responsible for the direction of The Roundhouse's interactive output: websites, applications, games and e-commerce. I am involved at the outset of most projects - presenting in pitch situations, meeting new clients and shaping the initial brief into a real project. I then lead the scoping process and oversee design, production and delivery.
  
  My areas of expertise include online branding, functional & technical design, information architecture, accessibility, usability, content management and web standards. I also have a sound knowledge of all major client-side, server-side, hosting and multimedia technologies.
