I am a UX/UI Designer with a background in Fashion Design.

I am originally from London and have spent the last few years living in Berlin.

In my previous roles in fashion design every decision was centred around the final customer so I was really drawn to the user centric and creative problem solving approach within UX/UI design. The focus UX places on research into users experience, needs and behaviour and the translation into tangible insights really appealed to me. And so, having worked in fashion since university, I started to put the wheels in motion to make a career change!

In 2021 I completed an immersive UX design course over four months with General Assembly. After graduating I began working as a freelance UX/UI designer before joining London based design agency Make it Clear.

I worked with Make it Clear for a year as a contractor working remotely from Berlin. My main client was Cambridge University Press & Assessment. I worked on several projects with them, most of which were centred around building a style guide and component library to support their migration to a new content management system. It was a great experience to work with a global organisation with such an extensive range of digital products and complex requirements.

While at Make it Clear I was the digital accessibility champion and supported in taking personal study time which I used to learn about digital accessibility and the crucial role that UX designers have.

Throughout the year I attended workshops, webinars and completed the W3Cx: Introduction to Web Accessibility course. This is an area of UX design that I am really interested in and I would love to continue to develop my skills in this area in my next role.
