Creator, artist & designer

Experience

I transform problems into elegant solutions through user research, prototyping, validation and design.

UX and Product Designer with 15+ years of professional design experience solving user problems across a variety of industry spaces. Sectors include; Telecommunications, Design Agency, Recruitment, Publishing, E-commerce, subscriptions and B to B.

I have been exposed to a vase array of problems, uses cases and data sets. One of my biggest strengths is my ability to understand a product and business at a technical level. My past experience as a developer has allowed me to be able to understand requirements, challenges and opportunities from an engineering point of view. This is a big advantage when looking at technical feasibility.

Natural innovator

I can’t help it I will naturally identify opportunities for innovation. If your looking for a designer who will sit in a corner churning out bit and bobs based on requirements with no clear use case I’m not the designer for you!

I want to solve problems and will constantly look for situations where either no one else has a solution or I think we can create a better one.

A bit more about me

In 2018/19 I completed a Professional Diploma in UX which has allowed me to create a range fo products and services that better support effective UX research and design and I have worked on some award-winning projects as a result.

As a person, I’m friendly with a good sense of humour and find it easy to get along with people.
