About me
I am a researcher. I am obsessed with understanding, learning, reviewing and drawing conclusions from what I’ve learnt. I am now tackling problems in the field of User Experience (UX). As humans, we interact with many products and services throughout our day to day lives. Some we love, some we hate. Very often this is determined by how effectively the product understands and meets our needs. I want to make sure that the products we engage with engage us. In order to make sure products are designed for our interactions, I explore many aspects underlying the design. You’ll often find me working on: defining problems, ethnographic research, user journeys, developing testable prototypes, conducting usability testing, along with many other methods that work with users to find the best solutions for their needs.

    UXDI is a 10 week full time course crafted by top practitioners within the UX industry. After deciding to transition from academia into the world of UX, I opted to get "immersed" into UX design. Therefore allowing me to make sure I am fully up to date with the techniques, tools, and methods used within the field of UX, as well as develop my visual design skills. The course covers the whole UX experience from defining the problem, conducting user research, iterative designs, wireframing and prototyping as well as working with teams and clients.
