I have been fortunate enough to work in some exciting startups across ecommerce, proptech and adtech. Following this experience, I attempted to bring an ambitious InsurTech x WellTech startup to market. I was able to hire a small, yet talented team, establish key partnerships, raised £50k investment, worked on the project full time for 12 months and joined the Google Startups Program. I’m a multi-award winning Product Designer by trade focusing on effective, efficient, simplicity. Design wasn’t just a job for me, it was a way of life and a topic that I have enthusiastically spoken about at a number of events and conferences. “I didn’t choose the UX life…” I have over 5 years of experience in sales and marketing and 12 in design, and my experience ranges from working with start-ups to SMEs and large international enterprises. This combination has enabled me to develop the skills to not only be able to conceptualise new ideas, but to communicate them effectively (and with commercial focus) to gain stakeholder buy-in. I am happy to roll my sleeves up day-to-day, and thrive when collaborating and driving long term improvement. I think at a strategic level and seek ways to integrate commercial objectives with unique opportunities, resulting in excellent ROI wins!More...
