About

I’m a user experience-focused designer blending academic research with hands-on design practice across design consultancies and tech startups. While pursuing MSc in User Experience Design at the University of Brighton, I am developing into a graduate User Experience Designer. I fuse research with practical design to create intuitive, accessible digital experiences that connect with users and drive real-world impact.

I’m committed to accessibility and inclusivity, designing solutions that are meaningful and usable for everyone, regardless of background or ability. My combined experience in UX/UI and interior design equips me to lead projects from discovery and stakeholder collaboration through delivery of visually compelling, high-impact results. I focus on usability, engagement, and measurable outcomes to ensure every product aligns with user needs and business objectives. My portfolio brings this journey to life, showcasing each stage from problem discovery and ideation to testing, solution development, impact measurement, and project reflection.
