Hello everyone! I am thrilled to present my latest portfolio on LinkedIn, marking the culmination of my architectural journey thus far.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
You could be a professional graphic designer and still make mistakes. There is always the possibility of human error. On the other hand if you’re not a designer, the chances of making some common graphic design mistakes are even higher. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s where this blog comes in. To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.

Can AI do good? at 'offtheCanvas' India HCI preludeAlan Dix
Invited talk at 'offtheCanvas' IndiaHCI prelude, 29th June 2024.
https://www.alandix.com/academic/talks/offtheCanvas-IndiaHCI2024/
The world is being changed fundamentally by AI and we are constantly faced with newspaper headlines about its harmful effects. However, there is also the potential to both ameliorate theses harms and use the new abilities of AI to transform society for the good. Can you make the difference?
2. Throughout my career, I have always tried to ensure that the passion
and enthusiasm for my work has shone through. Despite my success as
an independent designer, I have found that it is through a team that I have
achieved my greatest potential.
I have learnt that having a platform to question and develop ideas harnesses
greater creativity - although realising creative inspiration doesn’t come
without its obstacles! Time management and working to tight deadlines are
important in any industry, but the foundations and biggest challenges of
design lie in communication.
In all my work, I have relished these challenges and used them to fuel my
ambition and maintain my own high standards.

ATG Tickets: Global ticketing platform
nez: App for local food and drink offers
7. Jaguar Land Rover (Imagination) / This app was specifically designed to
book a VIP tour of the Jaguar or Land Rover cars. Within the app, you can
unlock exclusive content about the models by walking up to the car with the
phone’s bluetooth activated, find out your nearest retailer and book a ticket
at the Jaguar Formula E Virtual Reality stand.
PRODUCT DESIGN
8. tapd / A simple alternative to on-campus recruiting. The app lets you book
an interview with the tap of a button and match with those who meet your
value skills and interests all around the world.
9. MOBILE APPS
Crew Clothing Company / Crew is a driven by the desire to produce
the ultimate casual wear. Their ethos has created a loyal following of
customers who appreciate classic yet stylish designs. Having spent a
couple of months working with them across all digital communications,
these are some examples of emails.
10. MOBILE APPS
nez / nez saves users money on breakfasts, lunches, after-work drinks and
everything inbetween, with over 45 partners & 300 exclusive weekly deals
from local favourites within the soho and fitzrovia. nez drafted me in for
development of the phase 1 app redesign and branding, giving them new
tools and assets to market the app to new and existing users.
11. MOBILE APPS
breakupbuddy / This app puts the ‘social’ back in social media. Before we
started wire-framing, it was key to understand the target audience, so the
user interface (UI) was designed to be familiar, simple and intuitive to use.
To design the app successfully, emotional response to colour, layout and
inclination of the application had to be considered.
12. AVRillo / Print design stimulates all of our senses and therefore has
dimensions and possibilities that the digital world cannot; textures you can
feel, physical spaces you can fill and the fresh smell of ink. Nothing beats
the feel of good quality texture on paper on a well-crafted and designed
business card or brochure. Here is an example of a branded mag for AVR.
PRINT
13. Pulsar / Print and digital magazine for social research
company Pulsar. This magazine was content-driven with
analytics and big data from the automotive industry, mainly
Audi, BMW and Mercedes.
14. Will Patrick Weddings / A prestigious wedding photographer who
prides himself on his fun and relaxed contemporary approach to
photographing weddings. With that in mind, the brief was for classy,
sophisticated and clean, whilst screaming ‘wedding with a creative twist’.
15. OOH Advertising / Examples of OOH advertising across Netflix, The Body
Shop, Tanqueray Gin and nez. More examples available on request.
16. CAKE (Havas) / Print and digital material for a Barclaycard. With their
expertise in innovative payment technology, this pitch was to highlight
festival goers’ experience of being in the moment. People attending
festivals will benefit from contactless technology and seamless payment
integration though mobile apps and hot spots to ‘be’ in the moment.
17. Paul Hastings (Instinctif) / A pitch campaign idea based on presenting to
a solicitors firm that implicit bias is rife in the work place. The campaign title
packed a punch with the fact that ‘It takes 7 seconds to make your mind up
about someone and 6 months to un-make it’. A bold statement of revelaing/
ripping the layers of an unidentified person, who could be a key player within
the business, was the idea behind this.
18. Spotify (FACE) / This brief was to give Spotify a strong qualitative look and
feel of five different music fans/segments in Japan. The segments needed
to be easily distinguishable from one another and information arranged
in a consistent format. Icons, key visuals, background images and colour
palettes had to be distinguished amongst each music segment.
DIGITAL
19. Jaguar Land Rover (Imagination) / Spec Pod User Interface for the
autoshows. The pods would facilitate the ability to navigate around the
unique functions and designs of the new fleet of cars Jaguar and Land
Rover has to offer, including the new Jaguar I-Pace concept electric car.
20. American Express / Microsite designed with the new AMEX branding
and illustration guidelines for their Why American Express® scheme.
This site had very specific requirements to incorporate their new
illustration and branding.
21. Hertz (CX Partners) / CX Partners, a generation experience design
agency, enlisted my help to research and design a proposed new layout
for the Hertz Vehicle Page for the Global site. We carried out Hertz
internal UX workshops with key stake holders, delving into pain points
and business objectives. Low and high fidelity wire frames were delivered
through to UI. This design was then user tested against a proposed USA
version, to come out on top as ‘much more on Hertz brand’ and ‘easier
to navigate when renting a car’.
22. Crew Clothing Company / The oceanic heritage of Crew Clothing
Company, a coastal-inspired brand that was formed and developed in
the British seaside town of Salcombe can be seen here represented in
the website examples of the Summer 2018 campaign homepage and
gender page concept.
www.crewclothing.co.uk
23. Mollie King / Mollie is best known as one-fifth of leading girl
group, The Saturdays. The multi-platinum selling band have sold
over 5 million records worldwide, scored 13 Top 10 singles and 5
Top 10 albums. This website is to purpose her entry into the fashion
world, as she documents her events and lifestyle.
