I am a designer with 12 years' experience and a passion for creating highly engaging and delightfully usable digital products. I am experienced in UI design, UX, interactive / visual design, web technologies, front-end development, research, data analysis and have delivered projects for various brands across multiple verticals.

My role is to create forward-thinking elegant solutions by understanding project requirements and collaborating with product managers, other designers, developers, clients and other stakeholders.
I'm also an active contributor to Adstream's UI pattern library, evolving and further developing it into a design system that is functional, consistent, elegant and flexible enough to suit the ever-changing needs of the business.
