Working at The Guardian

I've worked for Guardian News & Media since 2008, and I am Lead User Experience & Information Architect. I work across the Guardian’s website and a variety of apps and platforms. This is a personal blog, but I write about my work, including recent pieces about the reaction to the Guardian’s Facebook app, how our iPad app changed my news consumption, and the IA behind the /culture area of the website.

Some of my wireframes from Guardian projects

I frequently talk at conferences about the UX work at the Guardian, and on this site I’ve published transcripts of talks I’ve given about design and the future of digital journalism at Hacks/Hackers London, FutureEverything and the 2011 Content Strategy Forum. In 2011 I also spoke at the UPA Conference in Atlanta about “Changing the Guardian through guerilla usability testing” and at EuroIA in Prague about “The IA of /Culture”.

I’ve edited ebooks for the Guardian, including “Who’s Who? The Resurrection of the Doctor” and “Facebook: The Rise and Rise of a social media giant”. I also run the Guardian’s Developer blog and Guardian Beta site, and organise and host events like Guardian UXmas where people can come into the office to hear about the work we do.

I’ve blogged for the Guardian on a variety of topics including site search, internet trolling, linked data, our metadata, digital preservation, and live blogged our hack days. You can find all of my articles for the Guardian on my contributor profile.

You can find the most recent articles I’ve posted here about the Guardian on the Guardian category page.

And finally, a reminder - this is my personal blog. The views expressed are my own, and do not reflect the views of Guardian News and Media Limited, or any current or former employers or clients.
