AMY THORNLEY

I've been working in the digital industry for almost 10 years. I trained in Interaction Design but originally began my career working (somewhat unexpectedly) as a Front End Developer before transitioning into design and learning much of my UX craft at the BBC. At Nexer, I currently work in public sector, healthcare and education environments... For me, the purpose of design has always been to make stuff better. I am particularly passionate about inclusive design, having spearheaded several accessibility projects in my time at the BBC. (Check out one of those below) I love to collaborate with others, experiment, play and learn to find the most impactful solutions. As a child, I was told I asked why too much. I continue to ask why today; endlessly fascinated by people and trying to understand the problems they're having to make stuff better!... Making interactive TV triggers accessible for people with colour vision deficiency.
