Work Experience

Dodo Designers

Founder, Graphic Designer, Responsive Web Designer, UI Designer, UX Designer, Illustrator

I started Dodo Designers from scratch and with limited professional knowledge but burning interest of the web world. Through persistent studying, and an enthusiasm for design, I helped many businesses, charities and individuals secure a professional identity online. I implemented UX methods in my web design workflow from 2013, quickly meeting my expectations that client research and a process based on lean methods and tested UX principles, creates less stress and greater profits for both me and my clients.

• Working with stakeholders on a face to face basis, and continually offer tools and methods to improve transparency, reliability and client involvement.
• Manage projects efficiently and effectively, allowing the final design to match client expectations whilst ensuring the journey is comfortable, on budget and on time.
• Securing more work through networking events, arranging meetings with other web and UX professionals as well as maintaining good, long lasting relationships with current clients.
• Contribute to the Web Design and UX community through online discussions and providing resources.
