About me
Usually building, organising or fixing something.
My work sits somewhere between technology, creativity and operations. I like taking ideas that are a little messy and turning them into something clear, useful and properly delivered.
Professionally, I work across web development and live events. I run Hex, a web development agency, and Six Side Events, an event production business. They are quite different on the surface, but both are really about the same thing: solving problems, making good decisions, and getting the details right.
I enjoy the point where creative ideas meet practical delivery — whether that's a website that needs to feel effortless, an event with a hundred moving parts, or a team that just needs a clearer way forward.
Outside of work, a significant part of my time goes into Scouts. That has taken me into leadership, events, technology, communications and operational roles, and means I regularly work with people across very different parts of the organisation.
Scouts
Volunteering is a pretty big part of my life.
I'm involved in Scouting at several levels — locally through my District (Basingstoke East) and County (Hampshire), as well as nationally through UK Headquarters.
My roles change over time, so I tend not to define myself by a job title. In practice, I help wherever my experience is useful: supporting volunteers, organising events, solving operational problems, improving systems and communications, and helping teams turn plans into something that works in the real world.
I also help run a number of Scout events, which is probably where my work and volunteering overlap most naturally: lots of people, lots of moving parts, and a strong preference for making everything look much simpler than it really is.
