Grace Hélène Jackson

After a lot of soul-searching and collecting various voluntary and paid experiences in international settings, I think I’ve found my perfect career in UX. I seek a creative, knowledge-based career which utilises my psychology degree, the field is always evolving so I can be a lifelong learner, and UX can also improve people’s day to day lives! I feel most at home in an agile organisation with a start-up atmosphere, where new ideas and experiments are welcomed.
