It’s so nice you want to get to know me.
I’m a UX Designer with a creative background in dance and photography. I have a passion for collaborating with businesses and communicating with people which allows me to translate complex challenges and present inclusive, evidence-driven insights and solutions for clients such as Sky, HSBC and Oxfam.
As a consultant, I have experience managing research projects from start to finish, including alignment, international recruitment, planning and conducting research activities. Aligning with research goals and project timelines, I have analysed findings to present actionable and evidence-driven insights, user models and design solutions for high-profile clients.
In addition, I’ve supported consultants on other varied research methods including surveys and diary studies and produced a range of outputs such as reports, personas, miro board analysis and video reels.
I enjoy learning, contributing to future technology research groups and deepening my knowledge of UX practices and technology by enrolling in courses and achieving certifications in skills like Practical Accessibility, UX Strategy and User Modelling.

A little more about me.
Previously to UX, I had a career in movement directing and dancing for feature film, TV and stage productions and coaching movement and wellbeing internationally for 12 years.
I’ve been a self-taught photographer for nearly as long producing, shooting and editing production campaigns and portfolios to increase discoverability and engagement.
My creative background required me to be a visual problem-solver and developed my communication, cognitive thinking, project management and visual design skills. I am able to learn quickly, empathise with people and communicate ideas and feedback with varying stakeholders to collaborate effectively within a team.
