Environmental Investigation Agency UK

Lead UX design

May 2024 – February 2025

EIA UK prevents and combats wildlife and environmental crime worldwide. The organisation was in the process of website redesign with web design agency FatBeeHive. When I joined I took on the role of lead UX/UI designer. I improved the designs (within set brand guidelines) and expanded the Design System. I also designed new UI components, for example a Report download component – since investigative reports are the most important deliverable at EIA. Lastly, I created mobile UX/UI designs for the main screens.

One of the challenges at EIA UK was the independence of the teams (Climate, Forests, Ocean, Wildlife) and a need for a shared vision. In addition the majority of communication was aimed at policymakers, making for challenging reading  – both on the website and social media – for other audiences. To address this challenge I introduced ‘Who is our audience’ sessions, in which I presented insights based on market research of nonprofit trends, current website statistics and conversations with EIA UK stakeholders. With representatives of each team we created empathy maps for; the policymaker, the journalist, the environmentalist, and the high value donor.

I collaborated with the fundraising team to start making updates alongside the website redesign and within brand guidelines. For example, I opted to create a red donation button, backed by user experience research. We also positioned it visibly on mobile, and no longer hidden in the hamburger menu.

Tools used: Figma (UX/UI design), Canva (presentations and social media designs), Hotjar (heatmaps and user insights), fivesecondtest (user research), Typeform (feedback surveys), Loomly (social media scheduling), Mailchimp (newsletters)

Cuba Travel Network

Lead User Experience Designer

April 2019 – March 2020

Cuba Travel Network offers a full spectrum of travel services, from custom-designed roundtrips to hotels, cars, and excursions. I was responsible for a full UX redesign of the responsive website, UI redesign, campaign pages and a custom car rental website.

My challenge was to translate the new digital strategy and visual language into the online user experience, emphasising unique and authentic Cuban travel experiences. The most important aim was to optimise the tailor-made tour booking process to increase conversion. In parallel, I flagged and resolved urgent user experience issues, and created several campaign landing pages.

I created the user experience redesign and visual design of the entire CTN website. This included the homepage, tour pages and the individual products; booking a flight, car, hotel or excursion. The products included search results, landing pages and detail pages. I also produced several landing pages and whitelabel hotel and car booking websites, The benefit of being responsible for both wireframes and visual design was that I could move forward quickly.

Tools used: Sketch, Zeplin, Hotjar and JIRA.
