MY_CV _________________
Product designer with a strong foundation in systems engineering and UX design. I bring a unique combination of analytical thinking, user empathy and technical knowledge to build experiences that make the complex seem intuitive. Currently in satellite operations and with experience in B2B sales engineering, I excel in complex environments that require collaboration between different teams and external stakeholders. Having applied my knowledge gained from my professional diploma in UX Design to satellite operations, I am passionate about crafting scalable, user-first experiences that bridge the gap between technical complexity and user-centred design.
UX & Product Design Experience
UX Design Projects
Designed an operational dashboard for the satellite operations team to improve multi-mission constellation management and ensure SLA compliance. Conducted stakeholder and user interviews, created user personas, led usability testing, performed heuristic analysis, and developed responsive mid-fidelity prototypes using Figma.
Developed a full business proposal for Seven Clean Seas to monetise cleanup data and scale environmental impact. The proposal included:
Catch: a mobile app to collect high-granularity geolocation data during river and beach cleanups. Delivered user flows, journey maps, wireframes, and responsive mid-fidelity prototypes using Figma.
Periscope Horizons: Redesign of Seven Clean Seas' B2B impact analytics platform into a scalable, data-as-a-service product. Created concept designs, mid-fidelity prototypes using Figma, and developed the supporting product strategy.
Professional Diploma in UX Design | UX Design Institute Remote, Jan 2024 – Nov 2024
Created a responsive medium-fidelity flight booking website prototype for desktop as a final project deliverable.
Conducted user research, analysis, developed interaction flows, structured navigation, and ran usability testing to iterate on the final design.
Modules include: Design Patterns and Heuristic analysis, Mobile UX, Structure & Navigation, User Research, Design Systems, AI in UX, and Prototyping
