About Me
An accomplished Senior UX/UI Designer and Researcher with extensive experience delivering major, multi-million-pound front-end projects across government, fintech, e-commerce, publishing, fashion, design agencies, hospitality tech, and consultancies. I design end-to-end digital experiences, from user research and ideation to wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs.
Skilled in applying user-centred design approaches to guide projects through full lifecycles, delivering impactful solutions that balance business goals with user needs. I combine creativity, strategy, and user insight to craft digital experiences tailored to each organisation’s needs.
I champion a research-driven, user-centred approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods to track behaviour, uncover insights, and guide design decisions. I translate research findings into actionable recommendations, advocate for user feedback throughout the process, and measure KPIs to ensure every design decision drives meaningful business outcomes.
