MY BACKGROUND
I have 10 years of experience as a UI / UX Designer. I began my career as a trainee designer, honing my print design skills in a small studio, before working for Apple Inc. as a Creative Trainer here and in Australia. I worked as part of a team responsible for training members in a wide variety of creative software, from web to graphic design. On my return to the UK I continued working in a creative field as a Digital Designer for Travel Channel and Scripps Networks Interactive. At IGT I built a strong foundation for solving complicated UX problems through prototyping and user testing. At Concentra Analytics, I was involved in the end-to-end design process, focusing on the human-centred design approach to problem solving.
I currently work at Channel 4, a publicly-owned and commercially-funded UK public service broadcaster based in the UK. As a UX prototyper, I build prototypes and design systems in Framer X that interface with a real remote control.
I am constantly challenging myself and enjoy learning new skills and technologies in interface design and front end development. I am a self-taught developer, skilled in responsive design, HTML5, CSS3 and React and the tooling available around that technology. My favourite tools include: Framer X, Sketch, Webflow Axure and Invision.
