About Me

From satellite operations to UX design

Oliver Weekes

My Journey

I'm a UX and Product Designer based between Singapore and the UK, with a unique background in satellite operations that shapes my approach to design.

My career began in the aerospace industry, where I worked as a satellite operations engineer. This experience taught me the critical importance of intuitive design in high-stakes environments. When systems are complex and decisions must be made quickly, good UX isn't just nice to have—it's essential.

This realization led me to transition into UX design, where I could apply my understanding of complex systems to create solutions that make technology more accessible and effective for everyone.
