About me
A digitally-minded designer, with over 10 years experience working collaboratively within and across teams, I strive to always push my abilities when producing first-class content. I put the user first and foremost when it comes to producing ideas and concepts, right through to final release. A mobile-first mentality to all work undertaken, I look for solutions in all problems relating to the user experience and the user journey.
Work history
Senior Designer
- London, United KingdomFull Time
I joined the HomeAway family over 10 years ago as the only designer at Owners Direct. Working with local marketing teams, I was responsible for all email design and implementation as well as landing page creation and for helping with social media posts.
After Owners Direct joined forces with HomeAway, we became a pan European creative team. Working with other European designers and marketers I was responsible for kick-starting, designing and building EU wide campaigns, across various channels e.g, emails, landing pages, social media posts and offline content. The team evolved into a global creative studio and we took on global projects with our US colleagues.
I have extensive knowledge of Sketch +4.0, Adobe Creative Suite as well as building cinemagraphs using Cinemagraph Pro and using After Effects. I have recently developed my design approach to be more 'mobile-first' and even 'customer-journey-first'. I can prototype my designs using Sketch, Invision and Craft.
