About me

I’m currently Head of Content Design and a Principal Consultant at Hippo Digital, where I’m helping to build the content design community and working as a consultant for our public and private sector clients.

Previously I was Lead Content Designer for Content Operations at DWP Digital and a Digital Content Editor for Sky at Leeds Dock.

I spent 7 years working for Atos and Highways Agency (now National Highways), leading on redesign and migration of the website, multiple micro sites and a new content management system.
