    uniE613 Workday - Senior UX / UI Designer
    Working within the Workday 'GridView' team, leading all design aspects from research through to delivery of this internal global 'troubleshooting' SaaS platform. GridView is designed to help monitor, maintain and troubleshoot all of Workday's integrations globally. This was a highly complex, technical project designed to be used by Support Engineers, Environment Operations and Dev Engineers. My design vastly improved the user experience for the internal team - proven by our user testing results following a live beta launch. Second project within Workday Extend was updating the Developer Forum and aligning the visual design with Workday's Design System..Hosted on Discourse, there were many limitations so working closely with the Dev team to understand where our limits were was very for this piece. We had the site live for Workday's Devcon and the team were super happy with the site. My third large project required carrying out an extensive audit of the whole Workday Extend site and the many versions of Storybook created internally. I organised and linked all my findings to a huge interactive sitemap, then finally delivered component and template design solutions to help the team

    uniE613 GfK - Lead UI Designer & Design System Lead
    A global transformation program, I was initially recruited to set up GfK’s first Global Design System. Soon after starting I was also asked to take on a Lead role for GfK’s flagship ecosystem b2b product. My role included overseeing the UI output from a small design team (2 in Nuremberg, 5 in London) initially over 2 streams. I was setting up the Design System alongside this. The first step however, was to establish some best-practice principle foundations; fundamentals such as: • Setting up consistent grids / breakpoints • Creating a much simplified typographic hierarchy • Designing for mobile-first principles / small screen first • Making sure designs were created ‘responsively understanding how screens ‘adapt’ across breakpoints • Teaching an understanding of accessibility to the team, through to baking this in to all the design via fonts, colours, hit sizes for touch screen and so on • Maintaining consistency of output as essential for delivery for development • Helping set up efficient production process and methods from file naming conventions through to uploading final designs to Zeplin By the time my project finished the design team were working daily with the Design System
