About
As a designer in the Institute of Educational Technology I have multiple roles. I offer basic graphic design services for online, print and motion. I provide broader design thinking on behalf of research projects to help ensure those projects achieve their stated aims. I also host design workshops and facilitate user experience (UX) processes both for our IET colleagues and Open University activities..
