About me
I'm a Bsc Sociology graduate with a passion for music, culture and technology. As part of my degree, I have acquired an understanding of human behaviour, wide-ranging quantitative and qualitative research skills and knowledge of digital technology. I have combined these skills to pursue a career as a UX Designer with research being my specialism. I'm currently working as a social researcher for one of the worlds leading research organisations with the ONS being our biggest client. However I want to transfer these skills into a digital environment.
