My strengths lie in creative problem-solving, active listening, and connecting the dots to deliver impactful strategies that align with both user needs and business goals.

Jealous Design

Wave goodbye to techno babble – it’s not in our dictionary of digital design and marketing.

We prefer to chat to our clients over a good cup of coffee using everyday language, rather than trying to bamboozle you with our knowledge of technical terms.

I help businesses of all sizes understand why traffic to their website isn't doing what they want them to do (buy things or become leads). I untangle digital messes and help drive better website traffic and convert that traffic into loyal customers. But how? 🤔

Since 2008, I've worked with over 250 businesses to help them:
🔎 Discover where users are dropping off their website
✔️ Bring clarity by doing user research to understand why their users aren't taking action
💪 Optimise and test their websites to make them more engaging to users

In order to:
👉 Improve their digital experience
📈 Increase revenue from users on their websites
🤝 Develop a digital strategy that drives engaged traffic, leading to long-term growth

✅ UX Audit & Consultation
