Lead Product Designer

I’ve joined Homesearch in order to achieve several goals such as making Homesearch is more user-focused so that product decisions and new features are made with the user in mind and based on their feedback. In a short amount of time at Homesearch I've successfully launched Homesearch's User Research Program and redesigned the component library to be more accessible and easy to use including a new platform nav. I also delivered UI/UX improvements to the mostly used tools of Homesearch to make the life of thousands of estate agents easier every day. I also participated in the design and post-launch analysis of a new innovative tool that will change the way houses are bought in the United Kingdom.

Senior Product Designer

At Plentific I worked with different product managers and designers to move projects from concepts to highly advanced prototypes that showcase different user stories, scenarios, interfaces, complex flows and edge cases. I also, helped at various stages of the development cycle to ensure that what is built is looking and performing at its best.
I collaborated with the design team in building Plentific's design system and component library.

At Murphy Varley I’ve worked on diverse Web Design & Developing projects, from big Volkswagen Audi Group franchises to smaller web campaigns for different new cars launched in 2016. My role was as a web designer who designed and built responsive websites that looked and worked great using HTML/CSS. I’ve learned that designs should follow form and function while thinking heavily about the User Experience. I’ve also guided Murphy Varley on the right track regarding how their workplace should look and feel, the importance of having meaningful and innovative brand values, vision, focus, work methodology (Agile) and the design of a new up-to-date website.

Junior Web Designer

Argos is the UK’s largest high street retailer online and has 740 stores nationwide. I’ve worked mostly on email campaigns that were sent to 8.5 million Argos email subscribers. One of my roles at Argos was also to design most of the Argos affiliate marketing material. This included all sorts of animated or static web banners that went all over the internet and several social networks. I was also involved with coding several promotional static web pages.

Digital Designer

While at PSG & Zoopla I worked on several different projects (around 9 to be exact), all of those projects were at various stages of their life, from a brand new project to a 5+-year-old one that needed improving. Depending on the project, I would have been doing some research, wireframes, prototypes (fun fact at the time I was the person who created more prototypes of the whole company), workflows, pixel-perfect designs, re-designs, emails or coding a prototype for a developer to work on. I'm used to dealing with different project managers to make sure that they are happy with the work and with the developers to make sure that what we build is CSS perfect, responsive and free of bugs.

UX Designer & Junior Front End Developer

I’ve worked with Nick Ridley (founder of FIT Digital - a bilingual creative digital marketing agency based in London) on some exciting projects for big companies like Intellabs, Worldbank and Google. For Google, we worked on a project to improve the infographic creation process in Google Docs. I was also in charge of designing the user experience of a tool that helped a fictional persona visualize data and automatically translate that data into multiple languages to break any language barriers.

Information Designer & Web Designer

I collaborated with Pierre Le Page (my client) to develop the Studeeze platform - Studeeze is focused on helping millions of students and businesses throughout the UK. We aim to help businesses across the country to outsource work to talented university students. This has mutual benefits to both students and businesses.

I was in charge of designing the website pages and ensuring that the information architecture was displayed in the best way possible while being visually appealing and functional to the target audience.
