"Humans evolve through design which is why it is important that designers of all types should look to strengthen communities, cultures, the environment and interactions with others which in turn will benifit the product, brand and overall experience."
Skills
Education
Present
I am currently half way through studying a Masters in UX Design at Digital Media Kingston which is part of Kingston University in London having already completed a diploma in architecture. I chose to do the course after spending a year developing a concept for a website called Crit Tank (see my portfolio for examples) that would help support architectural education. Although the project had innovative ideas and gained support from two of the biggest architecture schools in the country the scale of the project and our lack of experience and funding meant the project had to be shelved. It was at this point I realised that if I wanted to continue in this field of design as supposed to architecture then a Masters course in UX Design would help me get the experience and skill set I need.
