I'm a recent Newcastle University Computer Science graduate with First Class Honours, focused on user-centered design, accessibility, and turning complex information into clear, usable content. I completed my dissertation by researching how to improve the Newcastle University Student Portal for neurodivergent users, prototyping a mobile solution in Figma to demonstrate potential improvements. I enjoy translating technical concepts into plain English and collaborating with diverse teams to create intuitive digital experiences. In industry, I worked as an Associate Content Designer at HMRC, applying GOV.UK content standards to explain UK tax policy to a broad audience, collaborating with policy colleagues, and advocating for accessible design. I also completed a DWP summer internship, where I created content for an internal audience, and communicated confidently with senior management. I’m excited to continue shaping products that are easy to understand and accessible for everyone.…I'm a recent Newcastle University Computer Science graduate with First Class Honours, focused on user-centered design, accessibility, and turning complex information into clear, usable content.
