Organisational Development professional with a background in psychology, human behaviour and systems thinking. Currently expanding into UX design, applying a user-centred approach to both organisational and digital experiences. Experience across journey mapping, user research and behaviour-driven design, with growing capability in UI and Figma. Combining full-time OD work with part-time UX practice to contribute to product teams and customer-focused solutions. Alongside this, I maintain an active visual art practice, exploring acrylic, watercolour and ink techniques. This helps sharpen my eye for colour, composition and detail, and naturally feeds into how I approach design.
