Case studies

I have a variety of experience across multiple sectors, including, broadcasting, higher education, financial services and health. Read my case studies to get a feel for the kind of work I have been doing and my approach to these projects.

My case studies are password protected, if you are visiting my website you probably have my CV which includes the password to view the studies.

Driven by meaningful work

Naturally curious about people and technology, I am motivated by using my skills to have a positive impact on the lives of product users.

I create purposeful designs that are generated through user research and co-design. I make sure my designs are simple, usable, inclusive and accessible.
