I'm an Interaction Designer with great proficiency in user experience (UX), front-end web design and development, and graphic design. I'm seeking opportunities to utilise my human-centred design skills, contributing to innovative and creative digital solutions that truly empower every person in their everyday lives, meaning: solutions that truly address customer needs based on real user research and feedback. I empathise with peoples' experiences and perspectives and I believe my human-centred approach to developing innovative solutions is the framework we need in the industry to make well-informed choices about how customers interact between the digital and physical world. I firmly believe in designing to make a positive and accessible impact in the constantly evolving digital landscape and I'm eager to bring this mindset and my design skill set to a team focused on creating impactful digital experiences.
I am proficient in Figma and the Adobe Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator & XD). I am also very experienced in working with Canva and Procreate for visual design work, through my involvement with developing my portfolio website with Canva and hobby artistry with Procreate. Furthermore, I have previously worked with Adobe AfterEffects and Davinci Resolve as part of video editing requirements for university projects involving motion graphics and animations.
Through four semester-long UX/UI design projects, I developed strong skills in user-centred design, usability testing, and translating user feedback into effective digital solutions. My capstone project involved designing and developing an interactive web platform that promotes sustainable fashion through clothing repair and reuse. I contributed to both the design and front-end development of the website, creating wireframes and prototypes in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite before implementing key features using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This included developing interactive maps, search functionality, and customised user guides through the integration of JavaScript libraries and APIs. These experiences strengthened my ability to create engaging, accessible, and user-focused web experiences from concept to implementation.
Currently, I am the lead role in website management and maintenance, and all-round digital design at a laser clinic. I have proficiency in Wordpress website development and content management, including Search Engine Optimisation, website hosting and optimisation for Google ads performance. I have also further applied my skills in UX/UI design to the workforce through my role in updating the clinic's website design and capabilities, including the overhaul of the underperforming appointment booking system and clinic information pages. Outside of website management, the Adobe Suite and especially Premiere Pro remains a core part of my present digital content creation process as I continue to produce educational short and long form content about laser skin cosmetic treatments, from filming and editing videos, to the creation of video assets and thumbnails to spark engagement on Youtube, Instagram and Facebook.
Whilst it may seem my experience is heavily focused on more technical aspects of design through UX and UI work, I believe the core principles of design and visual communications are inherently applicable to graphic design, as they all integrate fundamentals of visual composition and colour theory to draw the audience's attention and the implementation of brand guidelines and user needs.
