What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on design role where I can blend UX, interface and physical product design, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and contribute to fast-paced product development and prototyping.

I am a versatile UI/UX and product designer with experience supporting small-to-medium companies to launch digital and physical products. I translate briefs into intuitive interfaces, prototypes and CAD artefacts using tools like Figma, Adobe XD and Blender.

My background combines user experience strategy, interface and interaction design with branding and graphic identity to create cohesive, user-centered solutions. I have contributed to award-winning projects, worked across R&D and multidisciplinary teams, and collaborated closely with developers and manufacturers to deliver fast-to-market solutions.

I hold a First Class BA (Hons) in Industrial Design & Technology from Brunel University and bring hands-on prototyping experience — from 3D printing and CNC to renders and technical drawings — alongside strong communication, collaboration and problem-solving skills.
