Making

Whether it’s soldering together a Simon game, 3D printing a replica Google Glass or building one of the UK’s first open device labs, I always enjoying making things across different media. It’s cathartic, liberating and helps me learn.

Here are a few of the projects I’ve worked on to improve my day-to-day making things.


GOV.UK Design System Snippets

This Atom package and Visual Studio Code (VSCode) extension includes snippets for Nunjucks to help build UK Government digital services.


GOV.UK Publishing Components

This npm package used in conjunction with the GOV.UK Prototyping Kit and GOV.UK Design System, contains the code you need to start building user interfaces for UK Government digital services. It’s an amalgamation of components and patterns described in the GOV.UK component guides.


NHS.UK Design System Snippets

This Atom package and Visual Studio Code (VSCode) extension includes snippets for Nunjucks to help build UK NHS (National Health Service) digital services.

Ministry of Justice Design System

The MoJ Design System and associated npm package is a central repository for patterns and components in use at MoJ Digital & Technology. It builds on and extends the design patterns, components and research evidence in the GOV.UK Design System.


Open Device Lab (London)

This is one of the World’s first device labs set up in London at my then employer Foolproof. The lab, which is still running, exists to support local creative communities to test their work on an ever-growing range of handheld devices.
