About

Experience design

As a UX designer, I collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, launch, and optimise digital products and experiences. I believe that effective experiences should not only address user and business needs with functional solutions, but should also build brands by focussing on creativity and craft.

  • UX/UI design
  • Information architecture
  • Interaction design
  • UX writing
  • Prototyping
  • Usability testing
  • A/B testing
  • Conversion rate optimisation

Experience strategy

I help teams with product discovery, researching and validating concepts before development. I use low-effort experiments to test assumptions and tangible prototypes to align teams around a shared vision, determining what to build next, in what order, and why.

  • User research
  • Customer journey mapping
  • Concepts and future vision
  • Experiment design
  • Service blueprint
  • Value proposition
  • Story mapping
  • Product roadmap

Workshops & facilitation

Effective design depends on the right context to be successful. I help teams overcome silos, collaborate, make decisions, and achieve results. Through workshops and design sprints, I facilitate the design process to ensure that teams work together to solve problems and make progress.

  • Agile & Scrum facilitation
  • Design Sprints
  • Ideation workshops
  • Growth workshops
  • Storymapping workshops
  • Prioritisation workshops
  • Team purpose & values
  • Team health & focus
