Pitch Lead & UI/UX Designer at 3 SIDED CUBE | University of Bristol | Education

£300k Engagement won
The University of Bristol digital companion was conceived as a new mobile layer connecting students with university life, services and learning. I led 3 SIDED CUBE's pitch, making an unfamiliar concept tangible through working prototypes, realistic interface designs and a precise delivery narrative before helping take the successful vision into MVP development.

What I did

Led the competitive pitch, using prototype visuals, realistic app mockups and a clear product narrative to give university management confidence in a new kind of digital companion.
Worked with UX designer Noah, who led stakeholder workshops and helped develop the workflows, while drawing on critique from the wider 3 SIDED CUBE design team.
Designed core MVP journeys and continued to shape features through the product's gradual expansion after the engagement was awarded.

Outcomes

Won a £300,000 engagement for 3 SIDED CUBE against other leading UK agencies.
Helped establish an intuitive university-wide digital experience whose forward-looking concepts became especially relevant as student needs changed around the pandemic.
