About
Currently…
My work is driven by empathy for users, unbiased research and constant iteration based on user needs and feedback. I am driven by a belief in the power of purposeful, inclusive and accessible design to enhance the user experience, enabling us to achieve business outcomes. Based in Bristol, occasionally nomadic and working remotely since 2020.
Previously…
After five years in the business end of fashion retail, I launched my own brand and web design studio in 2020, delivering authentic user-focused digital ecommerce experiences to small business clients. I went on to complete an intensive UX/UI bootcamp to formalise my user research, cross-platform design and product thinking.
Always…
London College of Fashion (business degree) grad, lifelong font enthusiast and a frequent dinner party host. When I’m not photographing nature or at yoga, I will be chatting with strangers on the bus about bad design (feel free to ask me about that last one, it’s my UX origin story).
