Hi, I’m Lydia –

a designer shaping thoughtful, inclusive experiences for culture and learning.

Bandcamp

Right now, I design experiences that connect independent artists with their fans at Bandcamp.

  • Playlists – enabling fans and curators to discover, organise, and share music.
  • Homepage refresh - rethinking discovery while raising accessibility standards..
  • Mobile apps foundations - dark mode, downloads, queueing and discovery.

BBC

Previously, I shaped digital experiences across News, Sounds, and broadcast tools at the BBC.

I was selected for the BBC’s highly competitive UX Trainee Scheme and went on to work across product strategy, research, and prototyping at national scale.

I co-founded and run a grassroots radio station and co‑working space in my local town.

The station amplifies diverse voices, fosters inclusivity, and reflects a stronger neighbourhood identity through music and storytelling.

I run workshops for children and young people

Introducing design thinking and problem solving through hands-on experiences.

I began my career designing for learning

Creating learning tools, publications and tactile experiences to spark exploration and creativity in arts education.
