Professional experience
With over 10 years’ experience in Financial Services, my design background also spans public sector education and digital start-ups. While working within large global organisations, I have focused on building the cross-functional relationships necessary to create synergies and a unified design approach across different teams and regions.
With a background in Marketing and Fine Art (MA), my perspective extends beyond digital design. I continue to make art and have exhibited my work internationally; this ongoing creative practice brings a unique depth of visual thinking and a fresh perspective to my UX and product work.
