Lead User Experience DesignerLondon, United Kingdom
About me
I observe and measure user behaviour to discover their needs. Then I prototype, test and iterate to produce solutions that address user needs and business objectives.
Projects
  • New digital service for diplomats
    New digital service for diplomatsI was the UX Design Lead (contract with IBM iX) at Foreign and Commonwealth Office, leading user research and design for a new digital service for diplomats and back office staff. Activities including interpreting user journey and business processes into screens on Sketch and Invision, running user research and data analysis. GDS standard and the service manual became my best friends.

  • Clothes swap marketplace app
    Clothes swap marketplace appTo test initial traction and define the market size of a clothes swapping app, I helped created landing pages for different niches, ran surveys to understand the demographics and their fashion habits, and conducted usability tests on the prelaunch app.
  • Conversion Rate Optimisation for Petlandia.com, a personalised gift book merchandiser
    Conversion Rate Optimisation for Petlandia.com, a personalised gift book merchandiserProblem space: The client would like to optimise their book purchase funnel to increase conversion and book sales. Alongside the marketing traction testing service my colleagues provide, they required user research and conversion rate optimisation services, which I planned and executed the relevant activities.
  • All-in-one business management solution
    All-in-one business management solutionProblem: Our client is a software-as-a-service company, providing admin, bookkeeping, tax and legal services. Small business owners & freelance creatives can enjoy keeping all these in one place and have a dedicated account manager, instead of using loads of different providers to handle different aspect of business management. Pretty cool time and hassle saver. Our client seeked our agency's help in growing the conversion rate of qualified marketing lead acquisition as they've identified telesales is their best channel in closing the sale. They needed help to widen the number of people they can telesale. Wouldn't it be cool if more small business owners and freelance creatives can save time in doing mundane business operations and focus on what they love? Here we go! A problem solution fit analysis workshop was run to understand our client's value proposition, what solution they think they're solving, and their business objective. From then on, within our team we defined the scope of the engagement. While my colleagues focused on top-level lead acquisition and awareness generation, I focused in user research. The aim of this research would help to improve the conversion rate of qualified marketing lead, understand user expectation of the brand, and gain specific feedback on the enquiry and pricing tool interaction.
