Instructor's CoursesHi, I'm Chimmy - a designer who creates digital products people want, use and recommend.
I started my career as a consultant software engineer, then switched to design almost a decade ago. I'm the pragmatic designer, delivering impact efficiently by empowering engineers to iterate quickly.
As a designer, I wear two hats. By day, I work at Triptease - delivering scalable B2B products that grow hoteliers' share of direct revenue. And the rest of the time, I do selective freelance work with founders, startups and organisations to identify what MVP they should ship.
I'm passionate about helping designers and giving back to the design community. I write the love+design newsletter to share design observations, have given many UX podcast interviews and have written two LinkedIn learning courses (Sketch Essentials and Practical Accessibility). I also speak at conferences and meetups. My favourite talks have been "Accessibility is a dirty word" | AIGA design conference 2019 and "How to build inclusive products" | Women driven development conference in 2020.
It doesn't stop with corporations. I also help designers hone their craft - offering 1:1 and group mentoring sessions on how to make accessibility part of the design process, how to improve your process and deliverables, and how to be more strategic/product-y. I also help non-designers transition into design - through mentoring or via the UX fundamentals workshops I facilitate via the School of UX.
One of the attendees of a session on Wireframing in XD said this about me: "I loved it! Chimmy was awesome!! I have done a few wireframe projects, because my boss asked me to, and I sort of had to just teach myself, through adobe tutorials. Today’s class blew those away. Like with Chimmy, everything made sense, plus I learned a lot more stuff. I really enjoyed it. Also, she had some amazing tricks to share. I haven’t taken advantage of the actual power of XD before."
Another person described the Practical accessibility course as "the best course I've found on how designers can influence accessibility in UX."
