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.
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.
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.
