About

A newly qualified UX designer with a foundation in graphic design and a strong focus on creating clear, engaging user experiences. My experience ranges from content creation for a restaurant, where I learned to tailor communication to diverse audiences, to running an embroidery business, which strengthened my problem-solving, customer empathy and end-to-end
project management skills.

Having completed a UX design course, I’m ready to apply research, and usability testing to design products that are both intuitive and impactful.
