Hi I'm Charlotte, a graphic design graduate from Nottingham Trent University. I am interested in user experience design and interactive design, focusing on building systems for people.
For my projects at university, I have focused on designing products and systems that help people such as a new banking system and a subscription box for blind children. I have an interest in new technology and computer programmes, always looking for a way to make design easier for people to use and find new ways of communicating.
With a constant eagerness to gain knowledge and experience, I am always looking to develop myself as a designer in all areas and seek opportunities in a new and diverse environment.

- Dear Parkinson'sDear Parkinson’s is a campaign designed to educate people about the symptoms of Parkinson’s such as tremors and freezing. Shown through postcards written by Parkinson’s sufferers and their friends and family, the campaign focuses on real life scenarios. Parkinson’s disease is one which is very close to me as my late grandma suffered from the disease and many of the symptoms. As a child I remember people staring at my grandma wondering why she didn’t smile, split her drink and knocked her peas
