What I do

Services

04 offerings

Early-Stage
Product Design

I specialise in building products from scratch — working with founders and teams at the idea stage to create pilots and MVPs that are ready to test, validate, and grow. I work well under constraints, making smart decisions with limited budgets and resources without compromising on quality or experience.

E-commerce &
Subscription UX

Three years of hands-on experience designing and optimising e-commerce and subscription products — reducing friction, improving engagement, and keeping users moving toward conversion.

Design Systems
& Ops

Experienced in building and managing design systems end-to-end — from component libraries and visual assets to Jira workflows that keep design and development in sync across internal and external teams.

AI-Assisted Products
& Automation

I help teams integrate AI into their product and design workflow — from identifying where automation adds the most value, to designing AI-powered features and experiences that feel intuitive to users.
