UX Design & Research
Professional Experience
Clutterbot has been the primary focus of my UX experience, covering both design and research for over two years. It's where much of my recent career development has taken place, and it feels like a natural overlap of my past experience and studies. While I'm unable to share specific work due to the nature of the company, I can walk through the techniques and experiences I've gained during my time there.

Personal Experience
For my personal pieces, my main goal has to discover pain point or areas I’ve been interested in or to practice a certain aspect. This has been to establish a personal relationship to my work and showcase the drive I have when it’s a project I care about. Here are the experiences I’ve had below.
Case Study Project - Spotify Redesign
To grow my portfolio, I looked at apps I used daily and explored whether others shared similar frustrations that I had.
This led me to the Spotify desktop app, where I undertook a full UX project to identify and address design issues using a design thinking approach to focus more on what the user would want to see rather than the recommended content that the platform pushes. A more in-depth breakdown of the project can be found here.

Certifications from Alison.com & LinkedIn Learning
These certifications gave me a foundational understanding of UX principles and a framework to build on throughout my professional experience at Clutterbot. They also served as my introduction to using Figma within a design workflow.
In Progress End to End Project - NutriKit
For another personal portfolio project, as I am doing a personal shift in my own life, I wanted to look deeper into recipe apps and nutrition trackers. I’ve seen that there has been positives and negatives to designs as it seems to accommodate to particular people, which can turn people off and stop using recipe apps. With this project, I plan to find the common pitfalls and find an alternative solution for them, while improving my design skills.
As I am currently working on it, I don’t have my documentation ready yet but I have designed this logo as the brand. In this project I am trialling Figma make, creating my own design system and multiple user flows. More to be updated soon!

Project Backlog
This is currently a list of my backlog of personal work that I want to develop to help showcase the areas I care about, with potential of maybe turning into something I fully develop and release myself one day, as I want to be fully honest with showing the type of person that I am. While not portfolio pieces yet, they will make their way up the list in some fashion.
Truss - A mental health metric app that focuses on biological metrics to measure and help with self care, anxiety, depression and quick access to emergency services for suicide prevention. This will be an end to end UX project with branding.
Art space (TBD) - An app that helps local studios to be able to rent out their space to creatives, allowing people more chances to create different crafts and make it easier for people to find places that offer spaces. Similar workflows to an Airbnb system. This will be an end to end UX project with branding.
DecoList (TBD) - An app that will help artist keep easy to reach information on what they still have available to sell, along with exact details of type, measurements and location. This will be an end to end UX project with branding.
More items will appear on this list when I think it is something worth pursuing for either general UX experience or something that would have a purpose if it was ever made.
Case Study Project - Heroku Tiers
To gain some design experience in a different area, I looked into the tech world and sought out what could be fixed.
This led me to Heroku’s cloud service system and the troubles users have had with continued purchase and anxieties around it. So I went on a new project to have my perspective on it and what I could do to improve it. Here is the link to the case study.
