Thirst Studios

May 28, 10:25 AM Comment

It’s a little bit old news now, but I’m very pleased to announce that I recently teamed-up with Andrew Gunstone to form Thirst Studios.

Andrew and I decided to join forces in order to offer a more complete end-to-end service to our clients, with me heading-up the strategy, IA, design and user-experience side and Andrew taking care of the back-end code and CMS development (but we both do a bit of everything in reality).

Check out the new Thirst Studios site and let me know what you think.

The Best Job In The World

Jan 15, 07:34 AM | Comment [1]

As usual it’s been a busy few months here at BTD, having spent most of my time of late working with a fantastic team over at Cummins Nitro on a really interesting project – The Best Job In The World.

The site launched this week and has already had a phenomenal response, with a rush of dream job hopefuls causing the site to crash in just two days of it’s release.

Whereis products

I’m pleased to announce that the ‘mini’ site I built for Whereis has gone live. Whereis products explains some of the new features at the recently launched new whereis.com, as well as explaining how you can make use of whereis’ maps across a range of products including mobile and in-car GPS devices.

I built the site from scratch in (x)HTML and CSS to be as standards-compliant and accessible as the design would allow.

Work update

Mar 25, 12:18 PM | Comment [1]

I just realised it’s been a really long time since I updated the portfolio section of this site. Not without good reason though, and it’s not because I’ve been slacking off and enjoying the Melbourne sunshine (the chance would be a fine thing). It’s because most of the projects I’ve worked on of late have either been internal web applications (so not available for public consumption) or have not gone live yet. As such I don’t want to publish anything visual just at the minute, partly because I’m not really allowed to in some cases but also because I don’t want to spoil the launches for my clients.

That said, I’m enormously proud of some of the things I’ve been working on of late so I wanted to share some of the more notable pieces to give some insight on what I’ve been up to:
