Design Work & Projects

I am currently the owner / director of the design consultancy, jh-01 / Human Experience Design.  In my personal capacity I teach part-time at the University of Johannesburg and conduct my academic research through the same institution.

I began my career in 1997 designing information architectures in Cape Town with various companies including Ogilvy Interactive. I then left to work in London for three years, again working in agencies including Lowes, Agency.com and Ogilvy Interactive. I returned to my home town of Johannesburg in 2004 and soon after started jh-01 / Human Experience Design which I continue to run. In September 2013 I moved to London to assist Nomensa (Bristol) in growing their business and opening a London office. Firma, a concept design consultancy, was founded in 2015 by myself and Terence Fenn. We closed virtual doors around 2017 / 8.

Please note:

“User experience design” refers to projects where the user-centered method was applied from research, through to strategy, design and testing.

“IA / IXD” refers to design where research and testing was either not a part of the project or conducted by another party.
