From research and product strategy to interaction design and systems, I turn complex problems into products people can actually use.

About

At some point during lockdown I ran out of things to customise on my phone and accidentally became a product designer.

The longer version involves a political science degree I don’t regret, a design certification I actually use, and five years of getting progressively more opinionated about hierarchy.

These days I work on things that matter — fintech apps people check before coffee, AI tools they’re learning to trust, HR platforms they’re forced to open but shouldn’t have to hate. Enough industries to spot patterns. Enough humility to still run research.

Capabilities

Six things I’m reliably good at.

01 UX Strategy & Research I run user interviews, contextual field studies and usability testing, then turn the findings into journey maps, personas and a prioritised problem statement — so the roadmap is built on evidence rather than assumptions.
02 Product & Interaction Design I design end-to-end product flows, information architecture and interaction models for web, tablet and mobile — covering the edge cases, empty states and error paths, not just the happy path.
03 Design Systems I build and document scalable design systems in Figma — tokens, components, variants and usage guidelines — so engineering ships consistent, accessible UI faster and the visual language holds as the product grows.
04 Visual & Interface Design I set typography, colour, spacing and layout systems that give an interface a clear hierarchy and a distinct brand voice, with every visual decision doing measurable work for comprehension.
05 AI & Emerging Technology I design for AI-assisted and agentic products — prompt and result patterns, confidence and citation cues, review and override controls — so users understand what the system did and stay in control of the outcome.
06 Collaboration & Delivery I work alongside product managers, engineers and QA from discovery to release: annotated specs, design reviews, developer handoff in Figma and post-launch iteration based on analytics and user feedback.

Got something to build, or something to fix?

I have opinions — especially about the thing you can’t quite put into words yet. That’s usually where the good work starts.
