My timeline

Would be web designer

Although I didn’t go initially go into a design career, based on my early interest in web development and doing an art foundation year, I have come back to design focused work in the last few years.

It’s been really fun to return to the coding and design skills I learned as a teenager.

Research background

I spent 7 years working as an academic researcher and lecturer.

This has given me a strong set of skills that allow me to find information that will help me in my work, evaluate information, and solve problems.

It also means I know how to clearly communicate complicated ideas in a way that is tailored to a specific audience.

Inclusive practice

At the University of Birmingham, I was the Disability Lead for the EDI committee for my school. I advocated for better accessibility in the learning materials and environment for both staff and students.

I also worked with students with a broad range of backgrounds and needs, and developed my adapted my communication and materials to be as inclusive as possible.

Accessible digital learning

I care very deeply about making my designs accessible and inclusive to the broadest possible range of users.

As a learning developer I have focused on producing online materials are easy to use, have clear information architecture, are accessible on multiple platforms and work with assistive technology.
