Working in London for 10 years for agencies and freelancing in-house on a broad spectrum of brands means I have gained invaluable commercial insight, ensuring user experiences are easy and enjoyable. I am personable, conscientious, adaptable, willing to learn from others, open-minded and value collaborative projects.
Deadlines, I’ve had plenty. Keeping calm, positive and optimistic is my trick.
I pay particular attention to brand identity, brand consistency and brand promises, working together with user experience to engage and excite customers.
