With over 18 years experience across agency, freelance, and in-house. I've worked across enterprise B2B, fintech, consumer, and editorial, designing for audiences at scale, within complex organisations, and under real constraints.
My background spans UX and interface design, visual and brand
systems, and web design, working across B2B, consumer, and editorial contexts.
I started in graphic design and moved quickly into digital. First
freelance, then agency, then product. Over the years I've built
experience across the full design stack: from visual identity and
design systems through to UX strategy, product design, and design
operations.
Honestly, my strongest product and UX work is a few years old now.
I'm currently embedded within Barclays' Brand team, working on
digital brand and internal design resources. This has kept my craft
sharp, but I've missed doing more product thinking. I'm actively
rebuilding that through independent project work, and looking for a mid-to-senior product role where I can contribute well, and grow
back into the kind of designer I know I can be.
I've been building AI tools into my workflow over the past year. I've completed formal training in Adobe Firefly and Pencil Pro, and I'm working on a live project at Barclays creating Adobe Express templates for non-designer use across the business. Alongside this I use Claude, ChatGPT, and Perplexity regularly as practical collaborators, for research synthesis, content structuring, and problem-solving. I'm also early into designing an organisational app for children with ADHD and autism, which I'm using to explore product thinking and AI-assisted workflows hands-on, alongside some early exploration into vibe coding.
I'm looking for an in-house product design role, ideally within a
structured team where there's space to do good work, learn from
others, and get back to designing around real user problems.I don't need to lead from day one. I'd rather join somewhere I can
contribute well and grow back into the kind of designer I know I
can be.
I've worked with brands across financial services, enterprise
technology, retail, healthcare, and consumer, including Barclays,
Fujitsu, EY, Grant Thornton, Sainsbury's, Jennis, and Livi UK.
