A full redesign of F1StrategyReport.com, built as a custom WordPress theme, with a heavy focus on podcast content. Despite the media-rich update, the WordPress CMS is still very simple for end-users to introduce cover images, media and other content.
I also worked on completely updating the podcast cover art, the social side of the website and other brand components.
I worked on redesigning the user interface for My Game Guru, described as the world’s first Grassroots sports/game tracking and locating app. The new look is brighter, more fun and modern.
At Fairfax Media I helped create and launch an internal learning website called the Learning Hub, which included an Onboarding web-app that is now used by every new employee at the company.
For the Learning Hub I contributed copy, built pages, customised and built parts of the WordPress theme and wrote editorial content for the Technology section of the website.
The Onboarding product, which I built from the ground up, features a responsive, simple app-like interface with a distinctive, clean design.
‘The Other Silicon Valley’ is a feature story on Chinese phone manufacturer Oppo that I put together as a freelance technology journalist.
Research for the piece included a trip to Beijing and Dongguan as well as interviews with Oppo engineers and other company representatives.
I also created a mini-site of sorts for the article, published to TechGeek.com.au, which includes cover-size original photography that I captured on the trip.
Winning the runner-up prize at Hackagong 2015, ‘You In’ was a prototype mobile-first events app designed to make catch-ups between friends super quick.
As part of ‘Team Gravvity’ I designed the fully functional, responsive web app concept, with a bright, tight visual aesthetic, and also produced a promo video for the project’s Kickstarter page.
An offline application built for Chromebooks and devices with the Chrome browser. 2000 people purchased the app and use it regularly. It is now available for free.
I worked on the app’s design, guiding its minimalistic visual style and creating the app’s bright purple icon as well as associated promo videos.
As a freelancer I was published twice in The Sydney Morning Herald, with a product review of the HTC Desire 626 as well as a look at the Motorola Moto G smartphone. This included original photography.
HTC – The Sydney Morning Herald
Review: Moto G (2015) – The Sydney Morning Herald
I wrote over 100 articles for Australian technology publication Techly, working closely with the editor at the time.
One personal highlight was a feature story on humanitarian organisation Terre des Hommes. I also wrote numerous product tech reviews and other commentary for the website.
