I’m Jen, a freelance digital creative lead and UX/UI designer based in Manchester. I work direct with clients and within collaborative teams to create outstanding digital experiences.
Through over a decade of agency and freelance experience predominantly working within music, fashion, and healthcare industries, I have developed a cross-functional ability to help clients understand how design thinking can benefit their digital strategy and user experience. Whether it's a client wanting to launch something entirely new, or looking to iterate on or improve an existing product or service; I can see an initial concept through to a highly polished and unique interactive design that brings a brand proposition to life.
I have over a decade of studio experience, recently working with clients including Queens of The Stone Age, Wrangler Europe, Pfizer, NUS Extra, Foo Fighters, Arctic Monkeys, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Domino Records, Universal Music, Capitol Records, Heavenly Records and [PIAS].
I’m also a songwriter and musician, currently signed to Alcopop! Recordings.
I am often invited to speak about my experiences as a creative. Having spoken at Manchester Metropolitan University, Salford University, 53 Degrees North, BIMM, Birmingham Music Awards, AIF Festival Congress and Unconvention.
Work history

R
DesignerRetroFuzz
- Manchester, United KingdomFull Time
I was lucky enough to start working at Retrofuzz shortly after graduating from university. In the early days I worked on a mixture of websites for bands, and both digital and printed work for fashion brands. I learned how to collaborate closely with other designers and developers to see ideas through.
My skillset developed over the years as the company expanded their team and moved into more strategic and UX focused digital work. I soaked up this experience, working with Wrangler Europe for six years on aspects of the design and strategy of their digital platforms. I helped to design eCommerce websites from the ground up, I worked on music streaming platforms, I undertook user testing and analysed metrics in order to optimise existing user journeys.
