It's time to dust off my CV and give the portfolio a thorough deep-clean.
About
I'm a Lead UI Designer and advocate for human-centred design with over 8 years’ experience in-house and freelance.
I work alongside developers, UX designers, and copywriters, and mentor a team of off-shore UI designers.
My tools are Figma, Figjam, Miro, Sketch, and Photoshop, and my track record looks like this:
-
Reduced the number of defects entering build by maturing design systems: documenting style guides, creating design standards and components, introducing governance
-
Streamlined design consistency and efficiency by creating a design library of reusable templates and assets
-
Led the migration to new tools, organising and enabling teams to more easily move their archives
-
Incorporate and promote accessible design in the course of all UI activities
-
Led improved ways of working, through team retros, detailed handovers, and by documenting our best practices
