"I have over 10 years’ experience working within design agencies and as an independent design contractor. During this time I have been primarily focussed on User Interface design, however since 2017 I have specialised in User Experience and Design Thinking practices, incorporating a design pipeline of planning, prototyping, testing, iterating and producing finished mock ups for clients and liaising with developers in production.
Working with clients both across the public and private sectors, I have been involved in large scale projects with end user bases in the millions as well as branding exercises and graphic design. As well as prototyping and user interface design, I have experience in creating design systems used across multiple products developed by organisations.
I am proficient in prototyping software programmes like Axure, user interface design software such as Figma and Framer and the Adobe Creative suite in general, I am also certified a certified Agile Practitioner. I have experience working in a Senior role and have good communication skills along with experience working with mid-level and junior designers, as well as front end developers in the process of working on a project.
Recent web3 work:
ENS Advertising portal
In this prototype I was experimenting with potential use cases of the ENS manager, specifically how users could set preferences for any advertising or promotional content they would see whilst signed in with their ENS name on blockchain products.
This project was self-driven by seeking to solve current problems with web2.0 and the role that intrusive and unwanted adverts play in online products. Users can select topics that wish they wish to see, or turn off advertising altogether, they also have the ability to go to a more granular level by selecting sub-topics. Another aspect is the ability to see previous ads that you have interacted with, with the option to choose whether you want to see more of this topic or specific project.
This prototype was created as an interactive prototype within Axure RP.
Blockchain Explorer Integration prototype
This prototype was created to examine the role of Etherscan, or blockchain explorers more generally, and how they could be utilised better within web UIs to give users more information about their interactions and purchases.
For this example, I have created a basic NFT marketplace, where a user can buy an NFT and confirm the transaction, this will allow a widget to appear that uses information from the blockchain explorer that is available but is commonly hidden in current web3 products.
Information such as transaction status, the total cost of the transaction including gas, the action undertaken and the before and after values of the wallet are bought into the UI to allow this information to be visible to the user without having to open wallets or go elsewhere to view this.

Proof of Competence - DeveloperDAO
I am a member of Developer DAO’s Design Guild and currently working on a project called Proof of Competence. This project aims to gamify the process of learning web3 by utilising on-chain actions and rewarding users through granting NFTs upon completion of Journeys.
These Journeys range from simple tasks such as swapping tokens to more specialised routes such as being an expert in using certain networks and projects, for example Harmony or AAVE. In this role I am planning the overall strategy in concert with the lead developer which is still in the early phases. After the design for the service has been detailed, prototyping will follow then finished UI mock ups.
Qube Launchpad UI Idea
This mock up is a refresh concept of the Qube Launchpad and how it could be presented to users. This UI was created using Framer and aims to give user all the information they need around current and upcoming IDOs, as well as track contributions they have already committed to projects.
Comfy Money UI Idea
This is a UI refresh concept for the Harmony DeFi project Comfy Money, part of the VenomDAO ecosystem. This project was created within Framer and was a self-driven idea that came off the back of using the product.
