I am looking for a senior or lead role within a new or existing design team. I prefer a fully remote position along with occasional office visits for collaboration. The ideal team for me would be agile, approachable, ambitious, and committed to pushing boundaries. I value a level structure where everyone’s voice is heard, as well as a culture that fosters learning and experimenting with new ideas.

Experienced UX/UI designer and developer crafting impactful user experiences.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I'm a UX/UI designer with a multidisciplinary skill set, committed to crafting impactful user experiences that captivate users and align with business objectives. With over a decade of experience, I have worked on all types of projects, for a range of different businesses. From early-stage startups to well-established household brands.
I specialize in user experience research and design, user interface design, design systems, prototyping, facilitation, and front-end web development. I am proficient in software such as Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, OpenAI, Mid Journey, Miro, Notion, and VS Code.
In my most recent role as a Lead UX/UI Designer at Pentatonic, I led the user experience research and design for a platform that enables brands to design and run circular economy initiatives utilizing AI and IoT. I also designed consumer-facing web and mobile apps for the world's biggest toy and beauty brands. Previously, as a Lead UX/UI Designer at Aareon UK, I transformed an on-prem ERP system into the cloud, focusing on user-centred design to improve workflows and prioritising efficiency for the user.
During my time at Spinning Fox, a design agency specialising in EdTech, I worked on various projects, collaborating with clients to uncover requirements through workshops. My responsibilities included wireframing, prototyping, UI design, and user testing design and facilitation. I have also gained experience as a UX/UI Designer at Checkatrade, OpenGI, Zoopla, and Yopa, as well as through freelance work and previous positions as a web designer at Design Fusions and Do1 Studios.
