Raeesah Patel

UX designer

Rae joined the team in February 2022 as Agile Collective’s first design apprentice, for 6 months she studied hard and in September 2022 she received her UX Design diploma. Now (a former apprentice) and certified UX designer, Rae has worked on various projects as part of the Agile Collective design team. 

Life before Agile Collective

After leaving Nottingham Trent University as a Fashion Communication and Promotion graduate, Rae co-founded Juice, a magazine and collective facilitated by and for creatives, writers and artists from the South Asian diaspora. She has since published three magazines and worked towards creating positive spaces for the South Asian community.

When not at work

As a former (very) small town girl, Rae now spends her free time exploring the big city, getting involved in creative theatre projects with friends and cooking new and interesting recipes. One of her goals is to live somewhere with a beautiful dining room so that she can regularly have people over for dinner! 

As an avid collector of coasters and magazines, she is always easy to buy gifts for ;)
