Amy Blackwell

I like making things that work.



I have a solid work ethic, having completed an MA in Product Design and a BA Hons. in Art and Design. My previous work experience has given me the opportunity to continue learning.



Whilst at HB Design, designers and manufacturers of contemporary furniture, I further honed my workshop skills and was able to communicate directly with clients and suppliers, and took a leading role in product costings.



More recently at Loanfinder and Appius I have been instrumental in the design and testing of improvements to a range of websites. Through this I have gained insight into information architecture, user journey design, usability, email and SMS marketing, split testing, HTML coding, and design for print.



Through work in various project teams I have also been heavily involved in the design and implementation of new products and features. I have also been responsible for designing & running on-site UT sessions & producing creative for a number of high profile websites.



I recently began as UX Practitioner at Redweb where I will focus solely on UX and continue my development in this area.



I believe this mix of creative and strategic thinking has enabled me to become a well-rounded, highly motivated, and versatile designer.
