#aboutMe

👋 Hi, I'm Neil!

I’m a designer with over 10 years of experience crafting thoughtful and engaging digital experiences.

Here on my site, you’ll find some personal projects I’m particularly proud of, like:

• Icon Creator: A handy tool for designing and downloading simple SVG icons.
• Vector Paint: A creative drawing app I built for my daughters to spark their imagination. (Desktop only)
• Home Move Calculator: A practical tool that’s helped friends and family estimate moving costs with ease.
• makeEbook: A beta version of an eBook maker to help publishers quickly create industry standard eBooks.

I also share insights from my professional work at Avis Budget Group, including contributions to an iconography library project and a global app design system in my in-house portfolio (password on request). My focus is on creating user-first designs that enhance web and mobile experiences, leveraging tools like Figma, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Previously, I worked at The Banner of Truth, where I produced over 200 eBooks, created book cover designs, and made my debut as a published illustrator by contributing 26 full-color illustrations for The Child's Story Bible.

Beyond my 9-to-5, I run BetterThings, my freelance design studio where I help clients build meaningful visual identities. My career journey also includes early roles in digital marketing and communications, which sharpened my understanding of strategy and user engagement.
