CV
Personal Profile
With 14 years of experience in UI and Product Design, I have worked on projects for some of the most prestigious names in the advertising sector, such as BMW, Nando's and Nestlé. My main career trajectory, however, was spent in the financial sector, where I designed services for some of the largest financial institutions in Africa, including Standard Bank, Old Mutual, Nedbank, Absa, Barclays, and Momentum, to name a few. I am passionate about finding innovative solutions to complex problems in order to ensure the best user experience possible.
"Angelique sets the example for a professional UX and UI designer. She consistently delivers far beyond the expectations for this role. She has also acquired considerable domain knowledge in complex areas of the money markets, fixed income and foreign exchange.
Business and technology stakeholders (whose expectations and demands she expertly manages) seek her out to get projects back on track or deliver exceptional work on their deliverables. As a senior leader in the team, she provides input and feedback to the junior UX designers."
