I’m Courtney, a UX designer with a background in psychology, a love for people, and a knack for making the complex feel clear. I've always been fascinated by the why behind human behaviour, and I've always loved making things. UX allows me to bring those two passions together to create intuitive, engaging experiences that put people first.
Originally on track to become a clinical neuropsychologist, I pivoted after my science degree to follow a lifelong passion: creativity and design. This led me to complete a Master’s in UX Design, proudly graduating with top marks. Alongside my UX skills, I bring strong graphic design expertise – crafting clean, compelling visuals and polished interfaces that elevate user experiences and communicate brand values effectively.
Empathy
Curiosity
Clarity
Warmth
<-- my core design values
My work sits at the intersection of empathy, structure, and creativity. Whether I’m conducting user research, prototyping, or shaping visual hierarchies and typography, I love turning big, messy problems into organised, meaningful experiences that delight users and support business goals.
I’ve been the go-to person for design and tech help among my people for years, and I bring that same approachable, collaborative energy to every team I join. Warmth, thoughtfulness, and a dry sense of humour are my defaults, balanced by diligence, attention to detail, and a drive to produce work I'm proud of.
Above all, I care deeply about the people I design for and the teams I collaborate with. Whether I’m untangling user flows, synthesising insights, or crafting visual solutions, I show up fully with curiosity, care, and a commitment to continuous growth.
