Personal Introduction

I'm a Midlands-based fundraiser with a passion for user experience. As a digital native, I taught myself HTML and CSS at a young age, building websites and blogs throughout my teens. I've maintained an interest in online communities since, managing social media profiles and online marketing channels. I'm refreshing this knowledge through codecademy and eager to build a portfolio while supporting smaller or newer causes. I supplement web UX with developing user processes for a fundraising CRM, gaining a deep insight into user needs through delivering ongoing training and piloting new processes. I exercise my design skills through sub editing a local internal magazine. As well as user experience I'm interested in digital marketing more broadly. I'm currently studying towards the CAM Diploma in Digital Marketing - Web Analytics and Social Monitoring to accredit my knowledge in this area. I'd be delighted to help charities and social enterprises who haven't got the capacity to develop their online presence, or understand their supporters, be it through their website or social media channels.
