About Charlotte

I am Charlotte, a designer at the BBC working on the Visual Journalism team. This multidisciplinary team is comprised of designers, journalists and developers, that respond to breaking news stories as well as larger data journalism pieces, created for a global audience.

I have created award winning, cross-platform interactive user experiences and unique story telling data visualisations, crafting, researching and defining unique interaction patterns for each project.

I graduated from the University of Plymouth in 2011 with a first class honours degree in Digital Art & Technology. I was then awarded a place on the BBC Design trainee scheme as an interaction designer. As a trainee I worked in Visual Journalism, Sport throughout the 2012 Olympic games, iPlayer and the world service where I specialised in designing user experiences for 27 languages.
