Hi, I'm Hannah

I was a quiet, curious kid who always wanted to know how things worked. I never grew out of it.

That curiosity has followed me through most of my life. It took me through a design degree, then into code when I got tired of designing things I couldn't build myself. I landed an apprenticeship in 2012 and have worked as a front-end developer in Bristol ever since. View my full professional experience spanning over 14 years in the industry.

What I do

I'm inquisitive and driven, and the harder problems are the ones I enjoy most. I've built high-fidelity apps and websites for high-profile clients including the Royal Navy, Historic Royal Palaces, Versus Arthritis and Jaguar Land Rover.

These days I'm a Software Developer at MoneyHub, a fintech company in Bristol, where I've also stepped up as interim tech lead. Some of my most recent work there has been for Capital One, Experian and Mercer WPS. A big part of my role is the design system: the shared components our teams build every product from, kept accessible and consistent so nobody has to reinvent a button.

Away from the screen

Nature is where I switch off. A long walk is my sanctuary, though I'm just as happy on my bike out on the country lanes. My favourite weekends involve a tent and somewhere I haven't camped before. Travelling feeds the same curiosity. I love picking up enough of a new language to order dinner badly, and getting a feel for a culture by trying whatever the locals swear by.

Time with family comes first. At home I share the sofa with my two cats, usually with a PS5 controller in hand. I love tech outside work too, which is how most of my playground experiments start.

Say hello

Thanks for reading. If you have a project in mind, want to talk about design systems, or just want to say hello, I'd love to hear from you.
