What I'm looking for

I seek UX/Product roles where I can lead accessible, sustainable, data-driven design and motion, collaborate cross-functionally, mentor teams, and deliver measurable impact.

I am a UX/UI and Motion Designer who creates accessible, sustainable and data-driven product experiences across finance, education and enterprise. I prioritise user-centred research and clear storytelling to make complex data intuitive and actionable.

At my current role I conduct extensive user research and testing, lead data-visualisation workshops, and develop design systems and documentation to improve accessibility and increase user engagement. I spearhead motion design and UI projects that boost retention and refine product interactions.

Previously I led Sustainable Digital Design workshops, presented at UK sustainability conferences, and was recognised with a CTO award for reducing digital carbon footprint. I often act as the sole UX/UI designer on agile projects, guiding ideation workshops and mentoring junior designers to raise team capability.

My agency background includes collaborating with cross-disciplinary teams, quality assurance across multiple projects, producing animated interactive content, and designing marketing templates that improved commercial outcomes. I combine technical skills, facilitation experience, and a passion for inclusive design to deliver measurable product impact.
