Robyn Waldron-Cooper
@robynwaldron-cooper
Seasoned UX/Product designer driving AI-informed, user-centred products for enterprise and biotech.
What I'm looking for
I am a highly creative, fastidious and results-driven user experience professional with over 20 years’ experience working predominantly with Blue Chip companies, start-ups and agencies, with extensive AI experience across Scitech, Biotech, Pharma, Education, Finance, Healthcare, Gaming, Automotive, Government and Retail.
I have a proven track record of crafting and delivering successful B2C and B2B products, contributing across the full project lifecycle from research to delivery and continuous improvement, and engaging from C-suite to hands-on design in Agile and Waterfall environments.
I quickly identify gaps, risks and opportunities to drive innovation or minimise disruption, blending commercial skills (cost management, project leadership, stakeholder management) with core UX/UI capabilities (strategy, service design, prototyping, research, user journeys, testing) to deliver measurable outcomes.
