About

I make products that earn trust.

Product Designer with 5+ years designing complex workplace tools people rely on daily. I've owned product design from start to finish for payroll systems, recruitment platforms, and fintech products — from user research through final quality checks. I also build my own tools with AI, from Figma plugins to mobile apps. I turn complex product requirements into intuitive, easy-to-use interfaces across web and mobile platforms.

What I believe
01

Ship beats perfect.

A good product in users' hands beats a perfect design in Figma. I optimise for learning velocity, not pixel perfection.

02

Outcomes over outputs.

Screens don't create value. Behaviour change does. I measure success by what users do, not what they see.

03

Constraints are creative fuel.

The best design work I've done happened under real pressure — tight timelines, technical limits, and ruthless scope.

04

Design is a team sport.

I do my best work alongside engineers, PMs, and researchers — not in isolation. Collaboration isn't a soft skill, it's a design tool.
