Favourite pastimes...
I started a spiritual journey of mindfulness and yoga about a year ago. As well as being great for the body,
I find it’s the best way to de-stress and declutter the mind. Vinyasa yoga is now part of my daily life - the steady flows are more like a dance than a form of exercise.
You will often find me solving world problems in a corner of a room over a rich roasted flat white, or maybe espresso martini, depending on the time of day.
I am also a huge lover of biscuits and I reckon I could guess the biscuit just by the sound of the crumbly crunch.
Other things I love...
(the short version in no particular order)
Exploring new countries, sunny days,
the sea, music, dancing, people, Belgian beers, home cooking, make-up, coffee, chocolate, cars, running, oh and singing like no one is listening
to name a few but if you want to hear more fun facts you'll find my contact details at the bottom of this page.

Style Me App | Concept Brief
JUNIOR UX DESIGNER
I created a style app that picks an outfit for selected occasions, based on what you have in your wardrobe. I included added features that allow users to easily upload photos of items, which were then automatically categorised. Users can edit final looks, and swap certain items to suit their occasion, and then save them in the ‘diary’ section so they’re prepared for every eventuality.
