Experience

Condé Nast International

Jan 2017 - Nov 2018 (1 year, 10 months)

Centralising the websites of 29 brands in 8 languages for 64 websites in 11 countries. My major problem to be solved was understanding and translating the user and business needs that needed to be standardised as well as those that needed to be localised/internationalised into a scalable design system.

Evonik, Germany

Apr 2017 - Nov 2017 (7 months, 1 day)

Conducted several user research interviews to understand the appetite for the launch of a new product within the UK. Following the creation of the product, conducted usability testing to ensure that it was fit for purpose.

New Look retailers

Feb 2016 - Jan 2017 (11 months, 1 day)

Worked on the browse and checkout flows of the New Look e-commerce site. - Created the first(non-marketing) personas for the digital and e-commerce teams - Coordinated the first (ethnographic) behavioural study to give New Look an insight into omnichannel shopping behaviour of their customers. - Generated a 1 percentage point uplift in conversion on mobile by redesigning the mobile checkout flow - I ran usability testing with 30 users and made changes based on the findings.
