Hi, I'm Ally. Welcome to my page. ​

 

I’m a freelancer, a UI/UX design specialist. Originally from Cape Town South Africa, yet find myself currently living [and thriving] in the United Kingdom.

 

Emanating from a diverse background of over nine years in corporate marketing for premium brands like Jaguar, Land Rover and Apple, I pride myself on having learnt an invaluable way of thinking which I now use as a tool to incorporate into ventures and collaborations.  Furthermore, earning an award in the digital space, a post-grad degree and most recently averaging 90% in an online University [UX] User Design Experience course, led me to discover my expertise and the area of refined, interface design.

Intentional and thought-out design has the power to transform brands and grow businesses through a relative narrative, thereby deepening engagement and growing brand loyalty. And after all, isn’t that what we’re all busy chasing? Did you know mobile devices now account for approximately half of our web traffic, worldwide? Mobile optimisation and responsive design should be pivotal touch points when looking at your brand's online presence and experience.

 

Please get in touch with me if you're looking to conceptualise clean, user-friendly and functional spaces and products, both visually appealing and pleasant to interact with. Together we can design and develop experiences that make people's lives simple. 

I'm always on the lookout for new projects, part-time or full-time ventures and collaborations.
