Hi, I’m Lydia
a designer shaping thoughtful, inclusive experiences for culture and learning.

Bandcamp

Right now, I create experiences connecting artists with their fans.

Playlists – An active form of support for artists.

Homepage – Rethinking discovery, raising accessibility.

Mobile foundations – Strengthening the core experience.

BBC

Previously, I designed across the BBC's most widely used products.

Joining through the competitive UX&D Trainee Scheme, I designed and researched across News, Sounds, and broadcast tools at national scale.

I began my career designing for arts education.

Creating learning tools, publications and tactile experiences that spark curiosity and new ways of seeing. See some of this work

My approach to design is a balance between craft, structure and inquiry.

I bring ideas to life quickly, using research, iteration and collaboration to turn uncertainty into clear, testable outcomes.

Craft

  • Interaction
  • Illustration
  • Motion

Structure

  • Design systems
  • Accessibility
  • Design & research ops

Exploration

  • User research
  • Mixed methods
  • Workshop facillitation

I run workshops for children and young people, sharing design skills through making.

Introducing design thinking through hands-on experiences, focused on collaboration and building confidence in exploring ideas.

Alongside my work, I co-founded a grassroots radio station and shared space in my local town.

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

Away from the screen, I make things with my hands.

Improvised knitting, upholstering old chairs, designing a typeface, learning Portuguese, and taking contemporary dance classes.
