I have been a Digital Designer and Front End Developer for over 12 years now. Working at the agency TLC Marketing, I was lucky enough to work on websites for clients such as McDonald's, Kinder, John Lewis, Albert Bartlett and many more. Since leaving TLC, I have been freelancing, working on a B2B project, a WordPress website for a theatre production, a Wix website for a Digital Inclusion group and a Shopify site.
