Hello, I’m Isabella Rocha.

Born in London to parents who work in the creative industry, namely photography and design, I grew to like and experience creativity, problem solving and teamwork. I love to experiment, iterate and make things simple creatively. I enjoy working with people and have a very positive, can do attitude with goal oriented focus.

Academically, I earned an A* in Portuguese Language, Geography, and Art, a B in Psychology, and an A in my EPQ.

Currently, I am an IBM UX Design Consultant Degree Apprentice at Manchester Metropolitan University. Alongside my studies, I serve as the Founder and Lead of IBM UKI’s Hispanic/Latino BRG and as an apprenticeship ambassador for NGTU, Women of the Future and the Department of education.

Proud recipient of multiple awards for my contributions as an apprentice and UX designer.
