What I'm looking for

Seeking Senior Individual Contributor roles as a Technical Web Producer or QA Specialist within Enterprise CMS environments (AEM/Headless). I am looking for hands-on opportunities to lead technical migrations, UAT, and accessibility advocacy for international brands. I am not looking for people-management or headcount-heavy leadership duties.

Technical Web Producer with a foundation in traditional graphic design and 20+ years of digital experience. I bridge the gap between "old school" design principles—typography and hierarchy—and modern enterprise technology. I specialise in directing complex AEM migrations and ensuring digital excellence through rigorous UAT, WCAG 2.1 compliance, and expert technical documentation.

Education

Degrees, certifications, and relevant coursework

University of the Arts London (Camberwell College of Arts)

Bachelor of Arts (Honours), Graphic Design

1999 - 2002

Activities and societies: Specialised in traditional letterpress, darkroom photography, and print processes. Investigated the transition from physical to digital media by incorporating ActionScript (Flash) and HTML into final degree submissions. Participated in studio-led critiques and collaborative exhibitions exploring early interactive interface design, visual hierarchy, and the future of web navigation.

Focused on traditional design disciplines including typography, letterpress, and film photography, developing a rigorous eye for detail and grid systems. For my final project I bridged these analogue skills with emerging digital tools — using Flash and HTML to build interactive web experiences — sparking a career-long focus on technical digital production and CMS.
