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.
