I was born in Martinique and grew up in London before living in three different U.S. cities. Being a rolling stone has its pros and cons but I remember and cherish mostly the pros. 

 

The Challenge

Around the age of 5 I was diagnosed as dylexic. I struggled with reading, writing and spelling at school. Luckily for me, my mother who is a speech therapist gave me a tailored education such that for the most part it reduced the difficulty that I would have otherwise experienced in a generic educational setting. I am grateful to her and my family who have been, and continue to be, an incredible support system. 

 

The Learning

Being dyslexic, alongside my travel and education in different settings has helped me to understand the challenges neurodiverse individuals face digitally. It has become my mission to make inclusive digital experiences that consider all users especially those with cognitive impairements. I have gained the insight of different preferences which make individuals unique and how creatives can tailor their designs and strategy so that every product provides all users with a similar experience. This can be achieved by incorporating smart features and accesibility settings that can interact with modern browsers and interfaces to give a rich experience for all users.

 

For my MSc dissertation at Kingston University (UK), I combined my interests of inclusive design with education and created an app called IncluClass which you can check out below. The project delves into multi-sensory digital teaching methods that can be adapted to engage with users who have different attributes and learning styles.          

 

My Experience

I have 2 years of UX experience and 3+ years of art direction/visual design experience. I have worked for agencies in the UK and USA producing deliverables for a range of clients including global multinationals and independent small businesses.

 

What does UX design mean to me? 

It means understanding user journeys, creating software solutions to everyday problems, creating features based on market research and trends, and iterating the prototype based on user feedback but most of all, it means making users feel considered, respected and thrilled.
