Driven by a genuine curiosity for understanding why people behave the way they do and a passion for turning those insights into design solutions that are not only intuitive, but effective for the businesses and services they serve. Commercially experienced through a placement at a creative agency, where I worked on live client briefs, collaborated across multidisciplinary teams and learned how to balance real user needs with real business constraints.
