Hello. I’m Chris, a Senior Digital Producer and UX/UI Designer based
in Manchester.

My most recent role has been working as a Digital Producer at Hidden, a Virtual
Experience and Video company based in the city centre.

I led on creating high end videos to promote complex products, from
development of initial storyboards through to completion of the videos. I was
also heavily involved in the UX/UI creation for numerous Virtual Experiences we
created for large industrial and pharmaceutical companies using our own
tailor-made virtual experience platform ‘Simmerse’.
My day-to-day operations were to work closely with the Directors, a team of 3D
artists, a midweight designer and web developers.

I also took a Figma masterclass to gain a greater understanding of the software
and the best ways to create DSM’s (Design System Managers) inside
organisations.

Before this I worked as the sole, lead UI/UX designer for a company called
Bluebeck, and created the original 3Mobile SMARTY application. Working closely
with the SMARTY team and our internal developers, we successfully launched the
SMARTY application which was really well received and is still in operation.

Previous to this, I worked for a group of entrepreneurs who had an idea to create
an online platform to allow gamers to host tournaments and leagues for games
such as FIFA and Fortnite using crypto currency and blockchain technology.
Following a successful crowdfunding pitch, I was employed to support the
Directors with my expertise and bring their vision alive.

In my spare time I enjoy getting involved in local arts projects, and enjoy
experimenting with new software and applications for work and leisure purposes.
I’m a huge music fan and I’m currently attempting to learn the art of mixing, I
also love walking, where a small walk usually turns into a much bigger one.
