Research and service design projects

As User Researcher for the Department of Agriculture, I supported modernising the export licensing and consignment application processes, and my previous UX/UI roles also involved a great deal of research to support product idea development.

I was also the Research SME for the Vodafone UX team, supporting designers in research and consolidated all our research tools, methods, and best practices into a Research Hub. As UX Mentor for the UX Fundamentals course at Harness Projects, I taught new designers the discovery research phase.

Sustainable UX

Life-centred design expands human centred design to consider the impacts on the environment, animals, and non-users.

Sustainable UX is about designing life-centred digital experiences that use less energy and are inclusive and accessible.

Through my own research and self-learning, I aim to design sustainable UX without impacting business needs while adding to customer and business value!

Teaching and evolving design

I taught UX fundamentals to new UX/UI students at Harness projects. This is a 12-week course taking students through a real-world project from research and problem defining to ideation and final designs.

I also share my knowledge about futuring, life-centred thinking, and sustainable UX via guide books and my Medium blog.
