Bio
John Mitchinson
It’s a special gift to be able to move between ideas, words and images with confidence. Isobel does that and more. She sees things that others can’t. She is that rarest of people: an artist who can put her vision to practical use. Working with her is a privilege and a pleasure.
Denise Chippindale
Isobel is such a delight to work with. As a client, I was nervous to see if my brand would be understood but Isobel relieved that stress from the get-go! Isobel's UX research and solutions were outstanding and I can't wait to take her findings to the market. I highly recommend Isobel for any UX role and look forward to working with her again.

Isobel is a Renaissance woman! It is rare to meet a designer skilled in so many areas at such a high level of quality. I've seen her repeatedly collect a breadth of inputs and transform them into usable information and experiences of the highest standard, and communicate with team members and stakeholders effectively. She’s an intelligent, creative, team-oriented and highly-conscientious designer who is interested in learning, understanding, and doing the right thing for the product, end users, and businesses. Any team would be lucky to have her on.
