My name is Thomas Bancroft, a graduate from the Queensland University of Technology, where I obtained a bachelor of design (honours), majoring in interactive and visual design. Throughout my time at university, I studied in fields including graphic design, website design, data visualisation, user interface (UI) design, and user experience (UX) design. During this time, I gained an advanced knowledge of these fields, and the concepts and technical skills needed to execute them.

 

Outside of university, and in the years since graduating, I have become a well experienced website developer. Starting at the Capalaba Bulldogs Football Club working in social media and website design, I quickly found myself designing and developing websites for Grip Star Socks, helping them conduct business on an international scale. After I finished up with Grip Star Socks, I began working with Wolff Design as their website developer, which is what I have been doing for the last 3 years now.

 

Website development has become quite the passion of mine, and coming from a UX/UI design background, I bring quite the perspective to an information technology profession where many developers don’t think about design and user experience unless a designer tells them what to do. With this in mind, my practice lies within developing websites that provide the user with a seamless and intuitive experience as they move throughout the website, and provides the client with the right tools to manage their content in an effective and efficient manner.
