A seasoned designer with experience across UX/UI design, design systems, digital campaigns, branding, print and editorial, outdoor advertising, events and illustration.
My driving question is ‘How can we improve this?’ and apply that to products and workflows. I love building out systems which enable others to create consistently and effectively.
While at times you may find me working behind the scenes,
I’m also a confident communicator adept at negotiating feedback across teams and managing stakeholders.
