Hi, I’m Anthea!
I'm a senior level Product Designer and Researcher with over 9 years experience delivering well thought-out, accessible and beautiful designs across devices for companies such as Spotify, Monzo, the BBC, Patch Plants, Vodafone and Vimeo. Most recently I spent 2 years at Spotify helping to make the podcast experience more intuitive for users and working on a strategy for their following experience.
I’m a hybrid product designer and researcher - expert at running insights work and user testing as well as leading with UI and UX design. In all my roles I've worked closely with developers, product managers, data analysts as well as other researchers and designers. I have wide ranging experience across e-commerce, fintech, travel and entertainment.
Previously an international competition lawyer for 6 years at a leading global lawfirm, I enjoy combining creativity and analytical thinking to design products that make people’s lives easier and more enjoyable.

"Anthea is an exceptional designer who takes the daily challenges of being a designer in her stride. She's one of the most dedicated designers I have ever managed and very considered in her approach to design execution whether working conceptually or within known constraints. She has an incredible eye for the detail of every pixel and is fantastic at communicating her designs to peers and clients. A logical UX approach is another strong aspect of Anthea's skillset and she's always hungry to learn/grow. She would be a huge asset to any creative environment."
