About me

I offer a diverse range of skills within the UX / UI Design field and have 5 years’ experience working at Marks and Spencer as a fashion designer in the London head office (my previous career). I’ve dedicated my time to this career transition and have worked within website admin to ensure time to retrain. I have an abundance of transferable knowledge which enhances my user experience design whilst having worked in a corporate fast pasted environment.
