Elle – Designer, Innovator & Accessibility Advocate

About

With a background in architecture, I honed my skills in observational research and human-centered design, shaping spaces around people’s needs. Transitioning into the tech industry, I worked as a User Researcher at a startup, where I gained hands-on experience in lean UX and agile methodologies. My passion for understanding users led me to product and service design, where I blend new emerging technologies and design thinking to create meaningful digital end-to-end experiences. 

Growing up with deaf parents has given me a unique perspective on accessibility and inclusive design. Sign language as my first language, shaped the way I perceive communication, interaction, and the diverse ways people engage with the world.

Why hire me?

I’m effective from day 1. Do you need to do lean research in 1 week for your website? Need to launch an MVP app in 3 months?  No problem. My agency experience allows me to take on any brief, whether that’s at the beginning, during the discovery phase or midway through the project as additional support.

My experience working with startup founders enables me to solve problems, strategise effectively, and collaborate on key decisions.
