Work Experience
As a part of my General Assembly course, myself and two others were assigned to assist the upcoming tech recruitment platform Utopicode in redesigning their current sign-up process while working closely with the Utopicode team over the course of four weeks.
Initially we carried out user interviews, heuristic reviews, surveys and competitive analysis before beginning to iterate on a brand new design. Moving swiftly through low-fi to a hi-fi deliverable,
my team and I utilised Maze.co to conduct multiple user tests throughout the design process.
The final result was a completely reworked sign-up process in the form of a quiz, with a big focus on the copy typing and changes to the information architecture in order to reduce bounce rate and improve profile completion rate and user retention.
Barista, Key-Holder and Graphic Designer for a small café in Elephant and Castle, working directly under the manager as the only full time employee. Responsibilities included solo opening and closing, payroll, inventory management and graphic design, delivering a variety of internal and external material including menus, newspaper ads and instagram posts.
For a short period of time I took up nannying, taking care of two children aged 9-12, picking them up from school, cooking and helping with homework.
A temporary paid position as a teaching assistant for the Interactive Digital Design course. I worked alongside one tutor and another assistant to support the delivery of an 8 week crash course in Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects.
