In early 2022, I led a small team of four Designers (both Product and Content Design) in re-imagining a service that enables new broadband customers to set up their hardware (known as a 'Smart hub') and take charge of broadband connectivity in their homes. The 'WiFi controls' service would play a critical part in the launch of a brand-new EE app due to be released to the market in February 2023 that would combine both BT and EE consumer services into one place.

As Head of Design at BT Wholesale, I led the re-imagination of the BT Wholesale Hub, achieving 16.2% year-over-year sales growth. I managed a team of 20 Product and Content Designers and User Researchers, established a user research pool for more frequent testing and evaluation of our work, and cut team costs by 40% through streamlined operations and team re-structuring.
As Head of Design at EE, I spearheaded the complete redesign of the WiFi controls service for the newly launched EE app in 2022. This flagship feature generated over 3% of the company's total revenue as incremental value, driven by home connectivity add-ons and the ability to 'boost' WiFi connections. The service was prominently featured in a national TV campaign, highlighting its importance in promoting the app.
Built and led a small team of 4 product designers to craft meaningful digital experiences throughout the Virgin Atlantic digital estate (including web, app, on-board experiences and more).
I led and managed several digital projects that have contributed to a 15.3% (yoy) growth in overall revenue, 2.5% (yoy) growth in average revenue per passenger & 7.4% (yoy) growth in online sales (2018-2019).
Helping beginners in the design industry learn about the practice of user experience design with an easy to follow, downloadable video training course.
Collaborated with companies such as JPMorgan Chase, British Gas, and Nordea Bank to help them realise their digital potential and deliver valuable digital products.

Contributed to multiple client projects including Renault, Nissan, Cathay Pacific and Mastercard.
I worked across the entire spectrum of design for VoucherCodes.co.uk including the design of the website鈥檚 first responsive template, features for both iOS & Android Apps and introduced user testing into the design cycle.
Fresh Egg was my first industry job as a graduate. This role encompassed both design and front end development whilst adhering to strict deadlines. It was a great atmosphere to work in and a great platform for me to progress on into my career.
