12+ years of holistic experience, building teams, processes, UX pipelines & creating massively entertaining & monetising experiences for worlds best known IP's including, Disney, 20th Century Fox, Hasbro, Marvel and many more.
With a B.Sc (Hon) in Economics & Consumer behaviour backed by a masters in Advertising, users and their journey is pretty centric to my approach.
I believe in building product experiences from ground up. I am fascinated and passionate about UX design & research both as a strategy implemented at an products origin, when it is being conceived keeping it UCD focussed, and fixing whats broken in existing products.
Having a background in Behavioural Economics and Graphic design helps me bring a balanced view to design solution keeping in mind users needs and aesthetics of the over all design.
