About me
Working a Product Designer, I have developed my skills in card-sorting, user interviews wireframing, sketching and visual design. I have always had a deep passion for human psychology and behaviour, having previously had a career in acting. I would take great pleasure is discovering character aims and motivations and believe these industries share a very similar set of skills.

  • Innovation Academy
    Innovation AcademyA training programme which focused on designing a digital product to solve the problem of online bullying for adults.

Once we had a sketch and prototype of Blocka, it was handed over to the UI team at Analog Folk to design.

  • Tate Britain Educational Resources

  • Black Girls Sewing Circle
    Black Girls Sewing CircleBlack Girls Sewing is a community project which upskills black women and tailors from Afro-Caribbean descent. It is a celebration of culture as well as a direct response to gentrification which has seen many fabric shops and tailors get displaced and therefore making it harder for them to get new clients and upskill.
