About me
Over the last 16 years working in a variety of senior and challenging roles within Digital Media and Technology industries I have acquired an extensive skill set. I’m looking to obtain a permanent position where I can utilize my expertise, ideally working for an innovative company full of passionate people who create, build and deliver fantastic digital experiences. I have a strong creative background and I've always enjoyed the initial ideation and research phase of the projects I've worked on. My proven track record in working with developers and designers to scope out features, create user stories and uncover target users' needs demonstrates my passion for working across all phases to create the best solutions.
