NorthOne is transforming the way that startups, small businesses, and freelancers bank. Our tech-forward, mobile first platform makes it easy for entrepreneurs to focus on building their business instead of managing their finances. 

Joining pre-launch as employee #9, I led our product design through the launch and growth of our iOS and Android apps and our web banking platform, two successful fundraising rounds, two rebrands, and a major migration between partner banks. My focus was on scaling our design system and banking product offering, whilst supporting our incredible product team.

As a member of the Board of Directors for an Arts Council England National Portfolio organization, I advised on marketing, digital development and audience development, as well as helping make strategic decisions on the direction of the festival and the organization.

Spark Dorset (formerly Hubalicious) was a youth digital arts project run a group of young people aged 13-19 from Bournemouth & Poole. As a workshop leader my role was to lead and plan the workshop sessions, provide training and advice, and support the group in running the site.

Joining as the first full-time employee, I worked alongside the Director & Founder for nearly a decade to grow the agency. Projects were primarily bespoke web applications, ecommerce sites, brand design and product design for large national non-profits, educational, government and research organizations. My role was to lead the design for all of our client and in-house projects, work closely with engineers on project delivery, manage the design team and win new contracts.

KUBE (formerly The Study Gallery of Modern Art) was one of the most prominent contemporary art spaces in the South West of England. As the sole in-house designer I was responsible for all design, digital and marketing output, as well as managing external contractors.

Printing.com is the largest high-street print franchise in the UK. As graphic designer at the Bournemouth branch,  I managed my own client accounts and all design output, including print and graphic design, bespoke print preparation, and brand identity design for a range of SMBs.
