A bit about me
As a digital designer with over ten years of experience I’m increasingly passionate about helping companies to create better digital experiences.
Curiosity and collaboration is key to the way I work. At Blancco, I improved the usability of more than 5 different SaaS products and grew the design team from one to five fantastic designers - my proudest accomplishment.
Working with start ups and smaller companies has also been very interesting as I’m always keen to learn more about how things work in various industries.
Originally from Cape Town, I spent almost a decade living in Ireland (and becoming an Irish citizen in the process!), before my husband and I decided to head out on a big adventure. We set up our own business and did some travelling while working remotely. We’re now settled in Sutton, London.
When not designing, I’ve been writing various course content for a vocational college on the topics of AI, UI, UX, Service Design and XR. If not at in front of my Mac, you can find me painting, taking photos and hiking.
