Hi, my name is Aoife Randles, and I am a graduate with a First Class Honours Degree in Product Design & Technology from The University of Limerick. I have a deep passion for designing intuitive and engaging user experiences across Web, App, and Social platforms, utilizing tools such as Figma, Adobe Suite, and Sketch. My approach combines creative problem-solving with a focus on aesthetics to deliver solutions that are both effective and visually appealing.

During my university studies, I worked on a range of projects that honed my skills in research, design, and user testing. One standout was my Final Year Project, which involved researching children's eating habits. I developed an educational app paired with a toy to help children build positive relationships with food. This experience required me to conduct in-depth user research, design wireframes, and test prototypes with children and parents, ensuring the solution met their specific needs.

Following graduation, I moved to New York on a grad visa and worked as a Web & Graphics Associate at The Conference Forum. In this role, I contributed to the launch and ongoing development of a new company website, creating pages across nine domains and designing unique layouts tailored to specific conferences. I enhanced user experiences by implementing interactive features and ensuring accuracy across all content. Additionally, I produced high-quality print materials such as conference brochures and recap documents, blending technical proficiency with creative design to deliver impactful work.

I am eager to continue my career in UX design, combining my passion for innovation and user-centric design to create meaningful digital experiences that make a difference.
