What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my psychology, consumer-behaviour research, UX/UI design and e-commerce skills in a role where I can keep building practical experience and contribute clear, evidence-based insights.

I've designed and built a Shopify storefront end-to-end for an independent parody T-shirt brand, covering theme customisation, product listings and checkout configuration.

My Psychology degree at Lancaster University gave me hands-on quantitative research experience: I designed behavioural experiments, analysed datasets in R, and investigated attention, memory and cue processing. I'm continuing this focus through an MSc in International Marketing with Consumer Psychology at Heriot-Watt University.

Alongside research and e-commerce, I've created live-streamed gaming content on Twitch and am developing UI/UX design skills through Figma and Google/Coursera coursework.
