I’m someone who likes to take a challenge
and turn it into something.

Studied Interface design at University
Started working in the early 00s as a web designer doing Design and Build
Photoshop, Flash, Nested tables, Netscape and manual release, all without a test plan
In more senior positions need to decide between frontend development and design
Design and UX won
Wireframing, Balsmaiq and paper prototyping became a standard
Built up skills in talking to users and looking at analytics to justify design decisions
Running workshops to refine requirements.
Focused on users' needs
New tools Sketch, MarvelApp, XD and Figma
Now living the design systems, Components library, Atomic structure lifestyle

Experienced

Not including stakeholders from the start

Waiting too late to test on end users

Getting changes late in a project

Being told, I don’t get it

Feeling the pressure

Workshops, refinement and presentations

Breaking down tasks and prioritising

Feeling good when I get it right

Coming back
