Product, UX & UI Designer

I understood people before I designed for them.

Trained first in organisational psychology, now designing digital products, learning experiences and immersive concepts — from early wireframe through to validated, build-ready prototype.

How I work

A process built to reduce ambiguity, not just decorate it

Every project below moved through the same four stages — real research and structure standing in for guesswork.

01 — Discover

Find the real friction

Competitor research, stakeholder input and existing-system constraints, before any screen gets drawn.

02 — Define

Frame who and why

Personas, journeys and problem statements that keep every downstream decision anchored to a real user.

03 — Design

Build to be tested

Wireframes, prototypes and interaction models — made to be validated, not admired.

04 — Validate

Check against reality

Usability heuristics and structured feedback loops, so what ships is what people actually needed.
