FAQ
Did I guess your question right?
Q: Did you do all of these projects on your own?
A: For some projects, yes! For others I collaborated with a team or worked under a senior designer.
Q: Which project are you most proud of?
A: I would have to say my case study on the Stay Alive app, not only because the insights I gave were recognised by the Head of Communications themselves, but also because mental health support is a matter near and dear to my heart, and I am proud I could contribute to improving such an important app.
Q: What tools do you use the most?
A: Figma is my design home base, but I also frequently use Notion, Miro, and am learning Adobe Suite. For accessibility I often use tools like Stark or Wave.
Q: How do you make sure your designs are accessible?
A: I apply WCAG guidelines from the very beginning of my process — things like colour contrast, clear labels, screen reader-friendly structure, and flexible interaction patterns. I also actively seek user feedback from people with access needs wherever possible.
Q: What’s your process when you get stuck on a problem?
A: Break it down, sketch it out (badly), talk it through, then test something scrappy. (Also tea. A lot of tea is required.)
Q: Are these all “real” projects?
A: Some are live client or organisational projects, others are course or concept briefs. I’ve labelled them clearly so you know what’s real-world impact and what was more practice or exploration.
Q: Do you code?
A: I’m not a developer, but I understand enough front-end to communicate well with dev teams and write clean handoff notes.
Q: What inspires your design style?
A: A mix of playful visuals, calm elements, professionalism and empathy. I like keeping my work approachable without ever losing sight of accessibility and user needs.
Q: Outside of design, what else do you do?
A: On the side I volunteer at my local scout group, I play guitar, garden, enjoy video games and I also stream them on twitch! (I’m a very small streamer but it’s the thought that counts).
