With 7 years of professional experience previous to UX Design, I have gained a variety of transferable skills:

· Strategic Partnership & Collaboration: Working extensively with sales teams and stakeholders to understand customer objectives, sales strategy, and revenue opportunities demonstrates the ability to collaborate across departments. This skill is transferable to UX design, where collaboration with various teams such as product management, engineering, and marketing is crucial for successful product development.

· Data Analysis & Insights: Experience in analysing data and leveraging insights to drive strategy with a data-driven approach. Transferable to UX design as the ability to interpret user data, feedback, and analytics is essential for making informed design decisions and optimising user experiences.

· Creative Problem-Solving: Creating high-quality media plans and pitches, identifying unaddressed potential, and implementing custom solutions demonstrate creative problem-solving skills. Transferable to UX design as we often encounter complex design challenges that require innovative solutions to meet user needs and business objectives.

· Project Management: Owning and project managing the setup of complex campaigns, conducting market research, and launching new services. Transferable to UX design as we frequently manage multiple projects simultaneously, requiring strong organisational and prioritisation skills.

· Customer Focus: Driving customer business objectives, ensuring customer satisfaction, and identifying cross-sell and up-sell opportunities emphasise a customer-centric approach. UX designers should prioritise understanding user needs, preferences, and pain points to deliver meaningful and user-friendly experiences.

· Process Improvement: Identifying opportunities for productivity, quality, and automation improvements, as well as building new processes from scratch, demonstrate a focus on efficiency and optimisation. This skill can be applied to UX design by streamlining design processes, iterating on design iterations, and implementing best practices.

· Communication and Presentation: Effectively communicating campaign strategies, insights, and recommendations to stakeholders showcases strong communication and presentation skills. In UX design, clear communication with team members, clients, and stakeholders is essential for conveying design concepts, gathering feedback, and aligning on project goals.
