Exploring visual systems
Creative technologist, Independent studio
Based in London, United KingdomSelected work
I explore how thoughtful interfaces can make complex ideas tangible. Working between design, code and the natural world, I build visual systems that stay calm under a lot of information.
Visual notebook · 2026
Field Notes
A visual notebook for observing patterns in landscapes, cities and everyday life. Three years of field sketches became a searchable atlas of forms, colours and rhythms.
Interface study · 2025
Common Ground
An interface study that makes complex environmental information easier to explore. Climate, land use and movement share one calm, legible reading.
Open tools · 2025
Open Atlas
A small collection of open visual tools for navigating connected ideas. Every node keeps its sources, so a line of thought can be retraced and shared.
Material research · 2024
Material Studies
Experiments with light, geometry and motion across physical and digital surfaces. Glass, paper and pixels are studied under the same light.
Open tools
FolioWeave
An open portfolio framework with independent templates and shared plugins.
Contour
Draws topographic lines from any field of numbers, in the browser.
Tessera
Palettes that keep their contrast on paper and on a dark stage.

I make digital things with clarity, curiosity and care.
My work starts with looking: at maps, at instruments, at the way light moves across a surface. From those observations I build interfaces, visual systems and small open tools that help other people look more closely too.
This is an illustrative portfolio for the Refract template. Alex Morgan, the studio history and the projects shown here are fictional examples, ready to be replaced with your own work.
