Skills & interests
The usual design programs...
Figma with prototyping, Adobe & Affinity Suite, Sketch... All that good design stuff.
...and processes
UX research including internal & external interviews, usability tests, card sorting, co-design sessions, and more. The list seems to never end! I'm interested in design systems and operations, and believe user centric design is the foundation of all good products.
