I am a UX and Graphic Designer specializing in inclusive, accessible user-centred experiences.
What I'm looking for
I am a UX and Graphic Designer with 6+ years’ experience building accessible, user-centred solutions for nonprofits, education and small businesses. I hold an MSc in User Experience Design (Distinction) and a BA (Hons) in Graphic Design, and I turn research insights into clear information architecture, wireframes and prototypes that improve usability and conversion.
I’ve led end-to-end redesigns (Fisherwood Farm), driven inclusive rebrands and designed festival merchandise for large LGBTQ+ events, and I currently freelance while seeking a permanent role where I can apply research-driven, accessible design to impact-led projects.
