What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values innovative design and user-centered solutions.

I am a passionate product designer with over five years of professional experience specializing in user interface design and creating engaging user experiences. My journey in design has been marked by a commitment to education, having trained over 500 students in UX research, empowering the next generation of designers. I thrive on building design systems, and in my previous role at a WealthTech company, I successfully developed a multi-brand design system that streamlined processes and enhanced collaboration between design and development teams.

Currently, I lead the student recruitment UX efforts at the University of Nottingham, where I focus on digital transformation projects aimed at improving applicant quality and retention. My work involves utilizing Adobe Experience Manager and other tools to create impactful projects such as the Prospectus and Help and Support Hub. My diverse experience spans across fintech, edtech, social commerce, and higher education, allowing me to bring a unique perspective to every project I undertake.
