MY STORY
A little about me
I'm Laura, a Senior Product Designer with 11+ years' experience turning complex problems into simple digital products.
​
For six of those years I was at Lingumi, designing learning products for children, parents and teachers. I then moved to The AA, where I worked across consumer and service experiences.
​
I've worked across research, product strategy, UX, interaction design, prototyping and delivery - and I'm comfortable getting involved wherever a product team needs senior design thinking.
I'm now taking on a small number of freelance clients, typically 1–3 days a week.
​
I'm particularly interested in working with ambitious edtech and learning companies that need experienced product design support, but aren't ready for - or don't need - a full-time senior designer.
