Come to me for

  • Editing and proof-reading
  • Planning research interviews or testing

  • Finance stuff

Conditions I like to work in

  • Enjoy working remotely and also love coworking days together
  • Prefer calls to be grouped together in the day and having some clear focus time
  • Like to plan ahead and know what's expected of me, even if that changes later

Times/Hours I like to work

  • 8:30am - 5pm
  • Would rather start early than finish later
  • Tend to do my best work before lunch

The best way to communicate with me

  • Happy to message or chat on a calls
  • Big emoji fan 😊
  • During busier periods, I'll only check email/Slack a few times a day

The way I like to receive feedback

  • For small tweaks, happy to have specific (in-context) feedback within files
  • For larger things, prefer to have a conversation

Things that I need are

  • Clear priorities and expectations
  • Connection and comradery
  • Time and space to think and reflect

Things I struggle with

  • Short notice changes that lead to 'winging it' with clients and users
  • Quickly 'zooming in and out' from strategy to detail. Enjoy both but can struggling moving between them
  • I can mostly manage working on multiple projects in a day but context switching does drain my energy

Things I love

  • Creating inclusive sustainable digital products and content
  • Clients we work with and their positive impact
  • Making a tangible difference when our recommendations are adopted by clients
  • Variety - doing research analysis, content strategy, content design (sometimes IA!)
  • Improving my own practice and helping others improve theirs
  • An afternoon siesta
  • Music, theatre, swimming, singing & dancing

Other things to know about me

  • When I'm feeling unsure or overwhelmed, I have a tendency towards perfectionism and wanting to control as much as I can
  • I seem to do a lot of my thinking and processing through writing documents
