The designer

Hello! 

My name is Amanda, I am a UX & Design Masters graduate from Billy Blue College of Design with over 4 years experience in UX Design. I’m originally from London, and have been living in Australia for the past 9 years. 

I’ve always been a creative, from designing holiday brochures for our next family trip, to teaching myself how to code on Myspace. I have worked in a variety of customer facing roles and web design positions, which naturally transitioned my passion to the world of UX.

At present, I work in a fast pace start up environment and report directly to the CEO. In this role, I am the voice of our users and manage the creative ideation phase through to the high fidelity and handover to developer stage in the design process. It is my responsibility to consistently advocate for user needs when making design decisions and be up to date with UX trends and tech. I own and monitor all feedback channels, conduct research and design recommendations for review by senior management. Within previous roles, I have worked as an end-to-end Product Designer, where I have been exposed and owned both the UX and UI side of the process and worked in bigger more structured teams.. 

I’d consider myself a go getter, who believes in bringing the best out of people. I deliver an effective balance of adaptability and flexibility, communication and enthusiasm to my work, whilst aligning to user and business goals which enables me to design meaningful experiences.

If you’d like to chat about a new role or any of my experience please send me an email and say hi to amandadawnsharpe@hotmail.co.uk
