About me

I enjoy working across the product development cycle; starting with initial design thinking and research, validating ideas through user-testing prototypes before working on high-fidelity designs and helping with their front-end implementation. I have four years of industry experience, first working for Touchpress (an iOS app developer) then Amphio (a digital design agency). Along side these jobs I have completed freelance design and development work for clients such the South India Coffee Company, NHS, Comic Relief and Nominet Trust. Prior to this I studied Graphic Design at Sheffield Hallam graduating with first-class honours.
