Advancing digital capabilities within our team through co-leadership of our digital evolution strategy, whilst delivering user-centered project outcomes.

As the Head of Visualisation at Atkins, I led a team of talented artists in creating visually impactful and engaging interactive/immersive experiences, animations, and project visuals. Our approach was rooted in storytelling, collaboration, and a deep understanding of project and stakeholder goals. I was proud to have contributed to the success of many large-scale projects through compelling visual experiences that effectively communicated project narratives and allowed teams to engage with their project data in more meaningful ways. I also took a proactive approach to mentoring and developing my team members, fostering a culture of ambition and growth.My leadership style focused on empowering the team to take ownership of their work whilst encouraging them to think creatively and push the boundaries of what was possible. Through regular team meetings and one-on-one sessions, I provided guidance and support, whilst also encouraging them to take on new challenges and step out of their comfort zones. This approach has resulted in a highly skilled and motivated team that consistently delivers exceptional results.

Working with clients and stakeholders, to understand the goals of their projects and the communication challenges. Both independently and through collaborative teamwork, I crafted compelling visualisations and animations to communicate project stories, enhance engagement and support successful project outcomes.

As a product designer at Innovate I lead projects through client discovery sessions, research (including competitor analysis), concept ideation and design development through sketching and 3D modelling with the production of compelling visualisations to support design communication for presentation and pitching purposes.

As a junior product designer at MERU, I supported the design and manufacture of specialised and bespoke equipment for children and young people with disabilities. Some children have disabilities so complex that no commercially available equipment meets their needs. At MERU, I used research, design, and prototyping skills to find solutions that would help each child to live their life to the full.
