I am a UI designer with experience in fine arts and business operations at tech start ups. I have experience managing all aspects of a small business as a self employed artist and across teams in tech, overseeing and being involved in all aspects of operations. Having completed projects where I communicated with internal and external stakeholders from concept to delivery, I have an innate creative flair, a strong sense for visual design and exceptional coordination and process optimisation skills. Transitioning into a UI career which explores the intersection of art, design and tech was a logical and natural move.Key Skills:User Research and user personas UI DesignTypography and colour theory Style guidesWireframing and prototypingAdobe XD, FigmaAttention to detailTeamwork and communication skillsSelf directed and goal oriented work ethicI believe I am uniquely positioned to combine my innate artistic flair with the organisation and drive required from working in business ops to build simple and aesthetically engaging digital and tech solutions.Check out my portfolio in my profile and feel free to drop me a message - I’m always happy and eager to anything and everything UX and UI.
