I’m a freelance Interaction Designer with over 15 years of experience in the field of digital design. My professional experience is based in the creative environment, I have worked in media creative and advertising sectors.
I worked as a Senior Interaction Designer at Yahoo! where I contrib- uted to international campaigns, lead teams and coordinated project delivery. This time was key in my development as I have gained more experience in the domains of global advertising campaigns, branding, UX and Interaction Design with delivery at scale. I have also partici- pated in team development and growth by conducting interviews and implementing company wide guidelines. Since then I have worked for Channel4, The Independent, Oxford Dictionaries, and Tumblr.
Most recently I held a UX Developer role at the renowned Heatherwick Studio, where I conducted stakeholder interviews, designed new archi- tecture for their intranet, designed and developed several applications, most notably, the main knowledge sharing hub, the wiki.
I’m passionate about clean design and efficient code. I explore the similarities in between both disciplines which enables me to inde- pendently build prototypes and minimal viable products and test ideas and assumptions in the native environment. It also drives my interests in systems and systems theory. Open to new experiences, and eager to learn and work with emerging technologies, I would be a valuable asset to your team and an aid in achieving your objectives. I aspire to con- tribute at any level to any task for the betterment of the overall output. I’m a considerate and a friendly individual.

Work history
UX DeveloperHeatherwick Studio
- London, United KingdomFreelance
At Heatherwick Studio I was responsible for the Intranet architecture and the development of bespoke applications. I conducted over 20 interviews with the senior stakeholders which led to a report outlining a model of service based architecture and advocating agile methods for the future applications developments. Report also identified “quick wins” which lead to the following projects:
• CRM system for the new business requirements,
• interactive visualisations of the studio’s main processes
• REST API to allow in browser access to network resources along with Vue.js based client,
• REST API for the studio’s Archive ( collection of models, research material samples etc )
I was tasked with migrating the main Intranet hub to Wordpress. With over 10,000 entries, a large part of the project was dedicated to preserving the content during this complex migration.
At Heatherwick Studio I worked with Vue.js, d3.js, Codeigniter, Wordpress and the LAMP stack. Through the rapid prototyping and MVP oriented approach I was able to quickly test the assumptions and keep all parties involved in the decision making process and improve the overall outcome.
