About

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. Curious, adaptable and always eager to learn, I am looking to bring that same human-first thinking to a team where design and technology come together to make a meaningful difference.
