As a UX Designer for Ecotricity, I'm co-leading UX/UI in their large-scale Salesforce E&U project, looking to overhaul their customer and B2C staff-facing software. My primary role as one of two UX designers is bridging the gap between the industry expert’s and customers’ requirements and the development team’s constraints, by gathering information and producing Figma prototypes with both in mind. Here - along with the other UX Designer - I use my user-centred UX/UI design expertise to gather requirements and produce Lo-Fi, then Hi-Fi prototypes with an easy-to-use, clean and modern UI. These designs are then used by the external development team, to create the Salesforce platform used by Ecotricity customers and B2C staff, where I will perform final internal and external user testing to validate the final product.As the B2C project comes to an end, the B2B project begins. The discovery phase for this project has just started, where we are leading observations, workshops and interviews to gather as much information and context as possible, to understand this new environment further and hopefully produce better designs due to this newfound knowledge.

This was a full 12-month placement, where I fulfilled such roles as: Product and material testing, 3D printer operator and CAD worker.This has had a huge influence on me and my working effects. I worked for BMI Monier Redland as a design student, where I was tasked with various responsibilities such as testing, CAD and Managing 3D printers. These responsibilities were given to me with a large emphasis on independence and organisation, especially with the 3D printing management side of my job, where I was in charge of the expensive equipment. Managing 3D printers also meant I was in constant communication with the designers, learning how to professionally communicate with others and how to manage different peoples needs.
