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.
Projects
- Innovation AcademyA training programme which focused on designing a digital product to solve the problem of online bullying for adults. Throughout the project we researched, ideated and designed an app called Blocka, which allows users to block out undesirable words and phrases as opposed people, dealing with the problem of online bullies hiding behind accounts. 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 ResourcesI was commissioned to write content for teachers of students in KS1 - KS2 titled "Animals" and "Colour" and Shape". The project required me to research the Tate collection to find the most suitable pieces of art as well as create exercises and activities that teachers can use for their students in their art lessons. Once the content was written, I created the webpages using CMS system Drupal.
- 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.
