Hi there, I’m Alice — a Product Designer with over four years of experience crafting intuitive, user-centred digital products. Most recently, I’ve been the sole designer at a health-tech startup, leading projects from research and user testing through to prototyping, UI design, and delivery. I specialise in UX/UI design for web and mobile, helping businesses simplify complex systems and create experiences that feel effortless. I’ve also worked on SAAS re-platforming projects, designed admin portals, and developed brand guidelines for both in-house teams and clients. I love collaborating with developers, founders, and marketers to bring ideas to life — whether that’s refining a customer journey, polishing a design system or building a prototype that tells a story. I’m confident working independently, but I’m at my best when working closely with others to solve meaningful problems through design. Let’s make something users love.

    paper Refreshing and refining a marketing website for a global employee benefits broker

    I redesigned and rebuilt the marketing website for a global employee benefits broker, focusing on simplifying the site architecture and making the content more cohesive. The existing website was cluttered and repetitive, so I streamlined the structure, rewrote copy to be clearer and more engaging, and created a modern visual design. After client approval, I built the full website in Webflow for both desktop and mobile. The new site launched successfully in time for their summer campaign.

    paper Improving insurance clients infrastructure as part of SAAS projects

    While working at a private health insurance startup, through SAAS partnerships I helped legacy insurers like modernise their offerings, by re-platforming existing technology and designing new digital-first products. These projects involved deep discovery sessions, user and broker interviews, and close collaboration with client stakeholders to define product propositions, MVP scopes, and user journeys. I created low and high-fidelity prototypes to demonstrate how our technology could enable configurable, user-friendly insurance experiences, both for customers and internal teams. As I was the lead designer, I helped with running workshops and would lead on running user interview and testing sessions.

    paper Sole product designer for a private health insurance startup

    I worked end-to-end across the creation of a new digital-first private health insurance ecosystem, spanning the individual and corporate customer products, as well as the internal claims and customer support platform. My focus was on simplifying a traditionally complex and paper-heavy industry through clear design, digital automation and a more transparent experience. I helped shape everything from onboarding and purchase journeys to back-office tools, ensuring each touchpoint felt cohesive and effortless. Together, these projects created a modern insurance experience that put users first intuitive for customers, efficient for support teams, and configurable to meet a wide range of needs.

    paper Prototyping an educational app as part of a competition with NASA and Adobe

    As part of a two-person design team, I helped create a tablet app to educate children aged 11–13 about NASA missions and inspire interest in science and space. Our concept focused on gamified learning, users could pilot drones, drive the Mars Rover, and explore coding-based challenges to learn about real NASA missions. We delivered a high-fidelity prototype within the competition brief and were awarded “Highly Commended” out of hundreds of entrants.
