The Person Behind the Pixels
Hi! I'm Emilie, an Assistant UX Design Lead working at BAE Systems on an AI data analytic tool.
Over the past 5 years, I’ve designed across freelance and enterprise environments—shaping digital products, building within CMS platforms, and creating app experiences that make complex problems feel simple. I’ve worn many hats (sometimes all at once). Along the way, I’ve learned to embrace ambiguity, bring teams together, and turn uncertainty into clear, thoughtful solutions.
Today, I’m an Assistant UX Design Lead at BAE Systems, where I lead end-to-end designs within the defense industry, crafting data-heavy experiences that help users make confident decisions in high-stakes environments.

01
Design from Evidence
I design not just for usability, but guided by insights drawn from real research and data.
03
Learn and Fail Fast
I embrace experimentation, iterate quickly, and treat failures as opportunities to learn and improve.
02
Collaborate & Communicate
Great design thrives in collaboration. I involve stakeholders, encourage feedback, and create a space where ideas can be explored and improved together.
04
Accessibility Wins
I prioritize inclusive design, ensuring experiences are usable, welcoming, and empowering for all users.
Outside of Design
I love staying active, exploring new places, and finding inspiration in the world around me to spark design ideas.
