Created a customer-centric product helping users find their ideal beach or ski holiday destinations, driving over €4M in bookings.

Specialised in beach and ski trips, iteratively improved user experience at various touch points throughout the journey.

Worked closely with different teams, joined the design community to share ideas and insights and mentored fellow designers.

During my time with the company, I was the lead designer in the product rebranding and design system initiatives. Additionally, I contributed to the research and development of a new product known as Scup Dashboard, which ultimately accounted for 4% of the company's total revenue.

My first official position as a UI designer provided me with a valuable learning experience. During this time, I contributed to the development of several notable projects, including the Pizza Hut Online Delivery platform and the LFG Online Learning Tool. Additionally, I had the opportunity to improve my skills as a Flash Developer and Animator.
