Hi, I'm Emma Partridge
A UX Designer.
I have 15 years experience designing products and services across a range of industries and different consumer platforms.
My chapter into UX started in 2010, when I made a lateral career move to work with the team at Marvellous Mobile, a digital product and innovation company.
Throughout my dynamic career creating solutions for different consumer platforms, one thing has been enduring - If you tell a story well, it’s impossible for your audience to get board.
Out of work…
• Qualified Horticulturist
• An Alchemist (my kitchen is my pharmacy)
• An Iroman, trail runner
In 2021 my partner and I purchased a small holding in Surrey, with the intention of moving towards a more self sustainable lifestyle. Earlier this year I applied my knowledge of organic horticulture to start my own organic growing system. Next year we plan to introduce livestock.
