About Me
Hi there 👋. I'm AJ, a Senior Product Designer, working remotely in South West England.
My approach is rooted in understanding the micro interactions and the nitty-gritty of how things work and how people use them and applying these understandings to create a seamless and accessible experience for all. I see design challenges as puzzles and get real satisfaction from solving them.
I’m excited and driven by finding the Eureka! moments in the problems I’m trying to solve. I have a desire to make people’s lives easier and more comfortable so that they can ultimately have less stress in their lives.
In 2019 I graduated the MA Digitial Experience Design course at Hyper Island, passing with Distinction. The course taught me how to use Design Thinking and a human-centred approach in response to complex design challenges, and to develop effective user experiences. Clients I worked with include the BBC, Fika, Social Chain and the Manchester Homelessness Partnership. These projects were focused on a variety of problem spaces, including social issues, understanding people, developing emerging technology, creating an experience for an emotional wellness application and business transformation.
When I'm not pushing pixels around a screen, I'm usually gaming, drawing, reading and writing my first bestselling high-fantasy novel, playing or watching football.
