My role at Coursera was to create and oversee their new Brand development across digital. Coursera’s design team had seen expediential growth over the last few years, which meant the UX / UI had become fragmented and inconsistent. Coursera’s Design organisation was relatively immature; I created new design processes and helped unify Design across the product. Coursera needed a Design System to align the new brand work and improve the product’s UX / UI design alignment. I built a small team of specialist designers working solely on the Design System in London; I led and managed the team, working closelywith the Design Org in Mountain View (San Francisco). We were responsible for component design and creation, documentation, product alignment and accessibility.• Coursera digital brand development• Creation of (CDS) Coursera Design System• Design Leadership and Mentoring of my UK team• Creation of Coursera Design Principals• Coursera Enterprise design development.

Unfortunately, because of COVID-19, my role was displaced, and I returned to the UK.• Responsible for Tradeling Digital Brand• Creation and production of the Tradeling Design System• Introduced UCD Design processes and Design Tools.
