To drive EV adoption, I unified BP's home and public charging services into a seamless app and improved signage and charging machines. This enhanced customer experience, addressed pain points, and earned the app a 4.5-star rating on the App Store and Google Play.

CRO
To boost registrations and signed-in transactions, key to long-term value, I redesigned the booking funnel flows. Logged-in users gained easier self-service for exchanges and refunds, vital during COVID. The redesign increased logged-in transactions by 60% and registrations by 20%.

Vanguard sought to position itself as the low-fee investment leader by showing how small fee increases impact long-term profits. I conducted research, created personas, mapped user journeys, designed wireframes, and worked with a researcher to test designs, ensuring customers understood fee impacts and value.

As part of a rebrand, I redesigned the global navigation, balancing conversion goals, usability, and space for future offerings. By streamlining 89 regional variations and collaborating with stakeholders, the new design boosted engagement and conversions, adding USD $1.1M revenue annually.
Head of Design at Rail Europe
I had the pleasure of working with Alison, who was part of my team for over a year and a half.
Despite numerous organisational changes and limited resources, Alison showed great professionalism and adapted quickly. I trusted her and quickly gave her important challenges to accomplish.
Beyond her excellent product and design skills, Alison consistently uses her data expertise to find effective solutions. Her teamwork and communication skills with stakeholders have strengthened our product and design exchanges, contributing to our team's success.
I highly recommend her—the next design team will be very lucky to have her.
Head of Design at BP Pulse
Alison joined my team in 2022 at a time where I needed autonomous and versatile Senior designers operating at Lead level. She has excelled in her mission, executing User Research, synthesising findings (journey maps, reports), challenging status quo, and exploring suitable solutions for the problem statement we had at the time.
I recommend Alison highly!
Principal Product Owner at CleverMover
Alison is the sort of designer that product managers dream of working with as she takes complex requirements and customer journeys and distils them down into simple and effective solutions with the focus completely on the customer and their needs.
Our mantra was 'surprise and delight the customer', which isn't easy when looking at mortgages, and regulated fact find processes in particular, but Alison rose to the challenge spectacularly, and made it look easy.
Not only would she produce a complex customer journey on demand but her personal workflow was such that she would usually have several different options available on demand allowing for instant turnaround depending on feedback from customers and decision makers.
I'd love to work with Alison again.
Head of Design at Trainline
Working with Alison has been an absolute pleasure.
From the moment she started it was obvious she was going to add value to our team - she supported in forming a successful new squad alongside Product and Engineering counterparts, championed design thinking, had a data informed opinion and put in the effort to get to know everyone and embed herself into the team culture even during remote working times.
Alison brings a wealth of knowledge, an infectious ‘get things done’ attitude and positive vibes, meaning even tackling problems with complex requirements happen in a true customer first way.
Whilst at Trainline she’s run design workshops, helped manage opportunity backlogs, completed rounds of customer testing and shipped so many cool improvements to the product.
We would gladly have her back as part of the team again in the future and she’ll be an asset to any team she joins.
Principal Software Engineer
I had the pleasure of working with Alison at Rail Europe, and I can confidently recommend her as an outstanding professional designer.
Alison is an exceptional communicator and incredibly efficient in her work. Her ability to complete tasks quickly and effectively was a significant asset to our team.
Over and above her duties as a principal designer, Alison has an expertise in conducting UX interviews with real users, and is able to quantify the financial impact of proposed changes based on these interviews. This unique combination of user insight and business acumen drove valuable improvements to our products and processes.
Any organisation would benefit from Alison's talents. She's a dedicated professional who delivers tangible results.
Strategy Director at &Us
Alison is very talented and thorough. I had the pleasure of working with her on a project to completely reimagine a digital learning platform.
The work was fast-paced, with a few levels of complexity from a UX perspective. Alison provided a knowledgeable point of view, and smart solutions, always keeping user needs front of mind, not just for our team, but for the client team too.
As lead designer, she handled the intricacies of the project easily, making my job much easier! She did all this while juggling additional, fast-turnaround client requests, and was a pleasure to work with throughout.
Alison would be a fantastic addition to any design project and I hope we’ll work together again in the future.
