- Joined Genio as a junior in 2019 and progressed into a senior role while working across learning products and internal systems.
- Led design within a product trio on Genio Present, shaping the rehearsal, reflection, and feedback experience.
- Shifted rehearsal from a one-off task into a repeatable learning loop that was adopted into DSA.
- Worked on Genio Notes, exploring how lecture capture and transcription could better support understanding and recall.
- Designed admin workflows for institutional setup and configuration, balancing flexibility with clarity.
- Used rapid prototypes and lightweight builds to explore ideas and align quickly with engineering.

Profile
Senior UX Designer working in product teams, focused on turning messy problems into simple, usable experiences.
I work closely with PMs and engineers to shape problems early, prototype ideas quickly, and focus on behaviour change rather than just UI output. I am comfortable moving between design and lightweight builds to explore interactions and test ideas before committing to final designs.
