About me - Ryan Clarke - UX/UI Designer

About me

I'm Ryan, a curious and driven multi-disciplinary UX Designer. I specialise in product and interaction design and have a keen interest in psychology and visual design.

My strengths include my adaptability and problem-solving skills, collaboration and my an eye for detail. I love having a career in design as it gives me the opportunity to constantly feed my brain knowledge and take on new challenges. In my work life, I love championing the user and thinking outside the box to solve problems and make a difference.

My journey into design

My introduction to UX came after finishing university, when I began working for UserZoom - a user research company. My role involved working with UX teams from some of the largest companies in the world. I was fascinated with how these teams were using real user feedback to solve problems in their digital experiences. This experience paired with my background in digital marketing and interest in digital psychology led me into the world of UX design.

Outside of work I enjoy

Travel and food

I’m an avid explorer, I love getting out and seeing the world - I've set myself a goal of visiting 25 countries by 2025 (20 so far). I’m a self-proclaimed foodie and love trying new cuisines.

Linguistics

I’ve always admired languages and how they are representative of places and cultures. It's one of those things I love reading and learning more about.

Photography

I enjoy capturing moments and my travels through my camera lens, it's a great way of taking a moment to stop and enjoy your surroundings. Photography is something I'd love to get better at in the future.
