Comfortable designing at high fidelity and presenting work to cross disciplined teams, my online portfolio showcases my versatility as a designer, I am available for full-time hybrid, remote, or contract roles in the London area.

 

Actively exploring opportunities to excel, I have accomplished professional development in front end coding - learning HTML and CSS. I was able to bring my coding skills into my role - successfully redesigning and hand-coding the monthly marketing email newsletter for Vodafone, a consumer marketing communication, sent to millions of Vodafone customers.
