Hello, I'm Amber 👋

I am from Belfast, Northern Ireland and it is my job to solve peoples problems with useful solutions.

I am currently working as a UX Designer II at Rapid7. Previously I worked at Selazar & CADshare

I started my path to design studying Interaction Design at Belfast School of Art. I graduated with a First Class Honours and a Diploma in Professional Practice with Distinction.

I have experience working closely with product owners and development teams to build high quality and usable products. I work bring concepts to mockup and prototyping stages. Previously I have worked on the front-end and believe that knowing how things are built has allowed me to better understand the complexity around my design decisons.

Interests

✈️

Travel

I enjoy travelling and I am a big fan of a city break! Some of my favourite places I have visited are Berlin, Dubai and Amsterdam. 2020 had some failed trips: ~~Dubai~~, ~~Vilamoura~~ and ~~Krakow~~. Pending trips: Dubai.

Illustration

I have always had a keen interest in drawing and over the years I have moved into illustrating digitally. I use Adobe Illustrator and Procreate to draw when I can.

Food

In 2013 my eating habits changed when I could no longer eat wheat due to being Coeliac. Since this I am keen to try anything gluten-free and found a love for Mexican and Asian cuisine.

Being Active

My love for food comes hand-in-hand with keeping active. I enjoy going to the gym, taking my lovely dog walks and I have recently starting running.
