States as reusable patterns

On Track, Delayed, Completed Early, Completed Late and Not Started, authored as reusable patterns rather than one-off screens.

AI projects

I use AI-assisted tools to explore ideas and build working prototypes faster. The AI Banking Copilot shows how I moved from a banking concept to an interactive prototype.

AI is part of how I design & build, every day.

What I can do for you

As a digital designer with an empathetic, human-first mindset and a structured way of thinking, I turn real user needs and business goals into clear journeys and polished UI. That means less friction, easier decisions and teams that ship with confidence.

Product Strategy & Growth Alignment

Aligning user journeys and product data with business KPIs to prioritise what gets designed and built first.

UX Research & Validation

Uncovering real user friction through stakeholder workshops, usability testing and analytics, so design decisions are tested before development starts.

Complex Interaction Design

Turning dense data, multi-role approval workflows and edge-case states into clear, consistent patterns that people can work through with confidence.

AI-Native & Conversational Experience

Designing intent-driven AI flows that understand a goal, explain their reasoning and ask the user to confirm before acting, so people stay in control.

Interactive Code Prototyping

Building working prototypes with AI-assisted tools like Claude Code and Cursor, so flows can be tried and tested before full engineering investment.

Scalable Design Systems & Token Ops

Creating tokenised component libraries that keep products consistent across platforms and themes, and help design and engineering teams ship faster.
