Paper boy, supermarket stockist, after school educator, dubious meat vendor, and key worker for extremely cool kids on the autism spectrum. I was also making websites and animations throughout... but didn't realise it could be a job back then.

Play

An experiment in building personality quizzes with Webflow as a front end. When launched this project quietly went viral on Tumblr without me realising and over 3000 people signed up to a non-descript cult I inadvertently created.

Some fun geometric digital art experiments.

For Webflow Maker day, initial test of a match pairs game using interactions and conditional visibility. Made in a way that doesn't make any rational sense, for the fun of seeing if it was possible.

A basic pixel art tool made as an experiment, again using Webflow for things it shouldn't really do.

Music

Most of my latest stuff is here — I don't have a huge amount of time for music so focussed on making quick short songs with videos atm.

A few tracks that have made it as far as Spotify

Before I worked for Endlesss it became the main way that I make music, in the form of short loops, sometimes with collaborators all over the world.

A bit of lockdown fun recording one of my University band's songs

A literal 'check our my Soundcloud', playlist of various tracks I've made or played on over the years, mostly demos and such.
