Hey, I am Jake 🐉
I am an interaction designer and accessibility advocate. I have been working at HMRC where I help build accessible, interactive services for the UK.
Work
I have contributed and helped design a lot of services throughout my career. I have a deep knowledge of interaction and UX design, WCAG guidelines, accessibility and designing for the right users. Here is a summary of my work.
HMRC
Interaction designer
From 2023, I joined HMRC, the UK Tax Authority. I have helped design and test a lot of internal and external services. Most work was done agile and prototyping was done using the GOV.UK Prototype Kit in code, also reviewing services using tools like Axe DevTools against the WCAG guidelines.
DEF Software
UX designer
A software company who provide solutions to local authorities in the UK, for planning development. From 2020, I led the design of their main back-office product. During my process, I designed in visual tools like Adobe CC, but transitioned to C# prototyping. Using this with the development team to create richer, more accessible designs for user research.
Throughout my 3 years at DEF, I designed marketing kits and templates for the consulting staff, led are-design of the website, led user testing, created working groups with customers and grew a UX culture within the wider team.
