About me
I am the current Senior Product Designer at Autovia (Auto Express, EVO Car, Octane etc). Day to day work involves sketching UX concepts, iterating these into user journeys and clearly annotated wireframes and producing low - high fidelity prototypes. UI also plays a big part in my product process so the stakeholder/client can get the best understanding of the product and build the best possible picture of the journey moving forwards. I am enthusiastic, self-motivated, with strong communication and organisational skills, which I have developed during my career. I have an advanced understanding of UX/UI and Visual design for web and mobile. My knowledge of colour for both digital and print is strong, and my typography, illustration, animation and photography composition/ re-touching skills are to a very high standard. I am a strong team worker with an excellent understanding of working within a Scrum (Agile) environment. Regular responsibility running user testing sessions either within office or due to the current situation via digital means. I am proactive in my planning and time management. As a designer my attention to detail is extremely high and every project, I work on gets completed to the highest possible standard. My HTML and CSS coding skills are extremely strong. I have an advanced understanding of web and particularly email both standard and responsive. My knowledge towards other coding languages such as HTML5, Java, PHP, WordPress etc. is also strong. I have a good understanding towards particular CMS systems and my SEO knowledge is growing throughout my career development.
