Hi there! I'm Sophie...

I'm a user-centered, detail-oriented, solution-focused designer who enjoys hands-on research and testing. With experience in client-facing roles, I've developed an innate understanding of human needs enabling me to curate personal, practical, and beautiful solutions.

Core Skills

A Passionate People Person

I collaborate well with cross-functional teams and easily build rapport with stakeholders and users alike. I am adept at analyzing user feedback and data to inform design decisions and ensure that the end product meets the needs of the user.

Aesthetics Meets Accessibilty

Not all attractive design is accessible and not all accessible design is attractive. My goal in every design is to balance aesthetics and accessibility. I am dedicated to creating user-friendly experiences that cater to everyone. Accessibility is a crucial aspect of good design and I aim to make all users feel confident in the products they use.

Empathic listening

I excel at facilitating productive conversations with team members, users, and stakeholders by empathizing with their needs and expectations. Everyone wants to be heard and I am a confident and eager listener that asks the right questions to satisfy project, business, and design goals.

Simplfying Complexities

I identify complex user problems from real data and develop solutions by creating a manageable process. From user flows to wire framing and cross-functional collaboration. I am able to identify unforeseen issues and create win-win solutions, utilizing designing systems, and implementing them to meet user needs and stakeholder expectations.
