About Me

Hi there 👋 I’m Ruth, a UX Designer based near Bath, UK. 

I have a background studying industrial design at university, working in customer services and market research. Together, these experiences have provided me with an invaluable skills set including communication, teamwork, problem-solving and critical thinking, all of which I can transfer over to UX/UI design. Whether it’s the consumer, customer or user, my studies and job roles have been focused around them.

User experience design appealed to me for a number of reasons; firstly I am good at problem-solving in my everyday life, so it felt like a well suited career choice where I can hone my skills. Secondly; as digital products and services become more ingrained into our daily lives, it’s crucial that we create easy to use, frictionless solutions - UX Academy course provides the possibility to do this.

Studying industrial design gave me my foundation in understanding human-centred design, creating concepts and iterating on ideas to solutions for the end user. Now I see UX as the next step forward where I can up-skill, gain further knowledge of the design thinking process and apply it to both digital and physical products.

One year from now, I aim to be working within a collaborative, team based environment which may be part of either an agency or an organisation. I hope my new job role will provide me with the opportunity to progress to either a mid or senior position.

When I’m not busy working, I enjoy being outdoors, photography, gardening, running, or travelling.
