About Ashley

I’m a Manchester-based user experience designer and graphic designer. I specialise in building brands and creating impactful user experiences, through skills in leadership, UX/UI, digital and brand design. I have a graphic design degree, a Google UX design certificate qualification and 9 years of experience in the design industry with 3 years of experience in user experience design.

I’m currently working as a UI/UX designer for Crosslake Technologies where I work within the Product team to create and improve user experiences and design interfaces for the company products and services through visual and interaction design. I have the chance to work on brand design at Crosslake as part of my role and in my free time, in freelance opportunities.

I’m a curious designer who is not afraid to challenge traditional perceptions. I create exciting and innovative concepts that are both functional and accessible. I always look for ways to develop my skills; whether solo or as part of as a team. I am a creative problem solver who uses a balanced blend of creativity and logic to tackle any challenge.

In my spare time, I love to draw, write and read comics and play the piano. I also love to stay fit and travel, particularly visiting iconic architecture!
