Powered by Creative Skillset, Hiive is a digital community specifically aimed at the creative industries in the UK. It allows professionals, companies and course providers to showcase their talent and business, discover opportunities and make connections. Organisations on Hiive include the BBC, Sky, ITV, Penguin, Channel 4, Google, Warner Bros, Aardman and many more.

Myself and Ben Hayward partnered with development team Technical Labs, to work on bringing the concept of Hiive to life. Working to a very tight deadline, we used an agile approach allowing us to iterate quickly and successfully ship a beta on the scheduled launch date. I worked closely with Ben on mapping user journeys, UX and wireframing, but was solely responsible for the final UI.

Hiive now has over 100,000 users and is still growing. It earned the status of Highly Commended as Best Digital Project in the BCS & Computing UK IT Industry Awards in 2015 and recognition at the 2015 UK Agile Awards within the Best Use of Digital - Non Profit category.
