Hi there! �� I'm Louise, a Junior UX Designer based in London, UK. When I’m not UX-ing, I’m either in the garden taking care of my vegetable patch, doing a jigsaw or exploring new restaurants with my friends.
I have always been motivated to develop myself and make my mark on the world. This led me to my first role in Events marketing. It was in this role, helping students find their dream study programme that I discovered that I wanted to contribute to solving some of users’ most challenging problems.
As a mental health advocate, I am driven by the importance of accessibility, diversity and ethics within UX. I am keen to dive in and make a real mark on users and offer them valuable experiences that leave them feeling content and understood.
