What I'm looking for

I seek collaborative, research-driven roles where I can lead user-centred design, drive measurable impact, and scale accessible products across sectors.

I am a UX researcher and product designer with 4+ years of experience across digital, print, and service design, grounded in publication, graphic, and exhibition design. I simplify complexity, lead research-driven strategies, and create accessible, scalable solutions spanning fintech, legal reform, cultural publishing, and branding.

I thrive in collaborative environments and deliver measurable impact—improving contract comprehension by 42%, increasing readership by up to 29%, and reducing production and transport costs through strategic design interventions. I conduct interviews, usability tests, contextual research, and create wireframes, prototypes, and service blueprints that align stakeholders across design, legal, research, and engineering.

My toolkit includes Figma, Adobe CC, Webflow, HTML/CSS, Miro, Optimal Workshop, Dovetail, and Atlassian tools; I combine systems thinking, accessibility (WCAG), and storytelling to design inclusive, scalable products and services.
