This is a breakdown of what I do

User research

User research is the foundation to any good design. I plan, conduct and extract insights from research, to uncover and develop a better understanding of the problem. 

Design thinking

I translate research insights into innovative ideas, thinking big in order to establish a vision that truly meets the needs of the users. 

Wireframing

I consider structure, flow and layout in order to bring the vision to life, ensuring the journey I am creating is logical and intuitive. 

Interaction design

Every interaction leaves an impression. I look in detail at the way components move and convey meaning to create delightful and seamless experiences. 

Prototype and test

It’s important to learn from and iterate designs. I use a number of tools to replicate an experience in order to communicate and test with users.

Storytelling

A good product needs a strong story. I use video, animation and presentation skills to tell that story on a variety of platforms.
