I’m a digital project manager, fluent in the language of business, UX, code and design.

With my background, I am in the ideal position to capture and interpret client needs and present viable solutions. Because I also understand the world of development and design, I can communicate effectively with coders and designers in terms they can understand, which helps them deliver to the client what is really needed.

Having a truly rounded experience of all aspects and roles within digital production gives me a deep understanding of creative and technical processes. This, combined with a strong methodical approach to managing projects, from planning through to successful completion, helps me bring projects in that actually meet the business goal.

My in-depth experience from client-facing to nitty-gritty coding also means I can solve problems easily and quickly to smooth production hassles and maintain client confidence.

Clients

My client experience covers a range of leading UK brands. I have delivered to some very well known brands including PowerGen, BAA, BAT, Hallmark amongst others. I am equally at home with smaller clients and thriving agencies.

Project management methodologies

My work is informed by a variety of popular methodologies, including Prince 2, Agile & Scrum although my experience is that the needs and type of project, and also the existing approaches within client organisations, will determine the methods used.

A further factor when deciding upon an appropriate project management approach, is the existing workflow and processes, which can often be the deciding factor as to which method is most likely to achieve results.

Common skills I deploy on most if not all of my projects are estimation of project costs, issues, risks, strategy, resourcing, milestones, cash-flow analysis, financial reporting and budgeting.
