I'm a Senior UI Designer based in Leicester, England.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
With a wealth of experience as a senior UI designer, team lead, and department head, I bring a unique blend of creativity, leadership, and industry-specific expertise that sets me apart.
In my previous roles, both in-house and at agencies, I have successfully led cross-functional teams in developing cutting-edge digital products across diverse industries. From fashion to hospitality, arts & culture to charities, my versatility has allowed me to navigate the unique challenges each sector presents.
I have crafted user interfaces for eCommerce platforms, B2B applications, as well as immersive digital experiences for theatres and cinemas. As a department head, I developed and implemented design strategies that aligned with business objectives, resulting in enhanced user experiences and increased customer satisfaction.
My leadership skills were pivotal in fostering collaboration, driving innovation, and delivering projects on time and within budget. Having decided to return to hands-on creative work, I am eager to bring my extensive skill set to any organisation. My proficiency in the latest design tools, coupled with a keen understanding of user-centric design principles, allows me to create visually stunning and functionally robust interfaces. I am confident in my ability to contribute to any project and exceed expectations.
