Who am I at work?
Hey there! I’m Benita, a Product Designer based in London. My experience in consultancies has given me the opportunity to work with a diverse range of clients and projects, equipping me with a strong understanding of various industries. I have always worked within cross-functional teams usually consisting of product, data, and engineering, enabling me to approach my work with both a technical and business perspective. This holistic approach allows me to create more impactful and well-rounded design solutions.
My approach is rooted in designing with users, not just for them. I believe in deeply understanding both users and businesses to collaboratively create solutions that drive growth and are sustainable. This philosophy has guided me since the start of my career, shaped by my unconventional path and my passion for creativity, problem solving and human connection.

Who am I outside of work?
Who am I outside of work?
Outside of work, you’ll often find me crafting, reading, or running.
Over the past year, I’ve developed a strong passion for research, particularly at the intersection of fashion and technology. This interest led me to create a TikTok page where I share my findings with a growing community. I explore topics such as sustainability, artificial intelligence, and data within the fashion industry.
