CECELIA GARNHAM

Out of curiosity I started teaching myself to develop websites from scratch in HTML, CSS and JavaScript which lead me to start working as a freelance Web Developer. This entrepreneurial endeavour allowed me to uncover and indulge in a deep enjoyment for designing digital experiences... After winning a scholarship to an immersive course in UX Design at Academy Xi, I solidified my User Experience arsenal. I continued to work independently but was presented with an opportunity to work as a UX Researcher at Sweat... My familiarity with development concepts and strong design ability meant progressing to a role as the Lead Product Designer at the multi-million dollar company was a logical progression. This role meant often being the sole point of liaison for development in relation to business wide feature implementation. I was also heavily involved with feature segmentation and prioritisation of development phases on the product backlog.
