Meet Our Team
Passionate professionals dedicated to advancing user experience design through innovative education and practical learning approaches
Dr. Evangeline Hartwell
Director of Academic Innovation
With fifteen years spent bridging the gap between academic theory and industry practice, Evangeline brings a unique perspective to our educational approach. Her background spans cognitive psychology research and hands-on design work for emerging technology companies across Birmingham's growing tech sector.
She's particularly interested in how people process visual information differently—something that shapes every course module we develop. Before joining us in early 2024, she spent three years consulting for design teams struggling to create truly inclusive digital experiences.

Individual Growth
Every student brings different strengths and learning preferences. Our approach adapts to help each person build confidence in their unique design voice.
