ABOUT

I’m a designer with a focus on data visualisation, digital accessibility, and sustainability. Over the years, I’ve worked in fashion, journalism, marketing, advertising, and now academic research. My career began as a knitwear designer, leading me to pursue a Master’s in Textile Design at the Royal College of Art. Graduating during an economic downturn led me to pivot into digital design, teaching myself coding and discovering a deep interest for working with HTML and CSS — using JavaScript sparingly.

I currently work at King's Digital Lab as part of a small, dynamic team delivering a diverse range of funded projects. Guided by principles of design, accessibility, sustainability, and strategic balance, I focus on creating thoughtful, lasting solutions that align with user needs, stakeholder expectations, and broader objectives. Collaboration is at the heart of my process; I thrive on sharing ideas, fostering creative growth, and encouraging professional development within teams.
