People and team directory

Employees need context about who they’re working with to effectively collaborate across organizations. But Atlassian’s user and team profiles were too lightweight, driving our customers to other tools.
My role
I led discovery and design as part of a small new product incubator team. We adapted to a platform model, delivering an updated staff directory experience to customers of Jira and Confluence.
Impact
Components adopted across our apps, increased user adoption of teams, and customers syncing their entire employee base

Atlassian Goals: Vision
Atlassian Goals: Vision
Disjointed experiences and missing integrations across Atlassian apps were making it difficult for users to get value from tracking work against goals.
My role
Lead designer, collaborating closely with PM on strategy discovery, visualising concepts and securing alignment from senior stakeholder and partner teams.
Impact
Effective integrations of goals across Jira, Confluence and new Atlassian apps.
Companies want to align their work to goals, so that they know they're working on the right things. However, Atlassian's goals feature only had a basic implementation of the framework used by enterprises.
my role
Lead designer on the Goals app, redesigning the experience to support OKRs
impact
Increase in enterprise customer adoption, and capturing leads migrating from Microsoft Viva Goals

I poured hours into MS Paint growing up
To make pixel art, and coded websites for fun
London

Designed in 3D
At architecture school, and in my first job in event and exhibition design
And then I picked up Sketching User Experiences...

Broke into UX
As a user researcher at an agency. Learned from experts, and improved the usability of apps like BBC iPlayer, Netflix, and Amazon Prime video

Got back to a ❤️ of design
As a product designer @ Atlassian. Making the tools people use for their work, for the last ten years
