What I'm looking for

I seek a user-centred design role where I can apply research-led product and visual design skills, collaborate in cross-functional teams, and create tactile, tested solutions that grow brand engagement and user satisfaction.

I am a product and visual designer with a BSc in Product Design & Tech from Loughborough University, driven by empathy and a curiosity for the relationship between design truth and tactility. I deliver user-centred solutions informed by research, ideation and prototyping.

My experience spans full-cycle product design, market insights analysis and creative support for brand and campaign work, from concept development to tested prototypes. I have contributed to recruitment and course content at a startup, supported branding projects, and helped grow client partnerships through persuasive communication.

I work with SolidWorks, Adobe Creative Suite, KeyShot and Figma, and practice 3D modelling, printing and CAD rendering. I value collaboration, time management and adaptability and seek roles where I can continue creating meaningful, tactile digital and physical experiences.
