Mathew Boyles 
With a passion for creativity, I often spent my free time designing and creating new things. I use my skills in web development to create works for clients, as well as for fun. As a Yoobee UI/UX student, I’m learning more about the principles of how to create functional and immersive interfaces to be enjoyed by all kinds of people, in all kinds of ways. I have also worked on advertising projects – creating flyers, posters, and branding. I’m relatively new to the graphic design industry but am eager to learn new things.


Tim Stannard
I’m currently working and living in Wellington, studying a Diploma in Web Design and UX at Yoobee. Building modern, easy to use, user-friendly websites is truly a passion of mine. I began coding websites as a childhood hobby, fascinated with how the web can be used as a visual design medium. I strongly believe that the best design solutions are the most uncomplicated, and I spend my time looking for that balance in my design. I’m currently developing an official website for a large national storage and distribution company, which is exciting!
